Pune Shivajinagar ST Bus Station to Get Rs. 8.25 bn Makeover

Pune’s Shivajinagar ST bus station redevelopment has moved forward, with the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) and Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation (Maha-Metro) signing an agreement to jointly advance the project. The proposed transport hub will cost Rs. 8.25 bn and serve more than 100,000 passengers each day.

The memorandum of understanding was signed at Sahyadri Guest House in Mumbai in the presence of Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and State Transport Minister and MSRTC Chairman Pratap Sarnaik. The project will be developed through a public-private partnership, with Maha-Metro responsible for implementation and private developers handling construction and commercial development.

The state Cabinet has cleared the policy framework for adopting the public-private partnership model. The planned facility will combine passenger services, bus operations and commercial areas in a multi-level structure. Passenger amenities will be located on the ground floor, the first floor will accommodate buses, and the upper floors will be allocated for commercial development.

The tendering process is scheduled to begin next month, while construction is expected to take about three to four years. The final timeline will depend on the project’s execution and development schedule. The redevelopment is intended to address commuter difficulties that have continued since the original bus station was shifted to Wakdewadi in December 2019 to facilitate construction of Pune Metro’s underground station.

The temporary facility is about 1.5 km from the original terminal, requiring passengers to travel farther to access ST services. The redevelopment plan will return the bus station to its original location and integrate it with the Metro network. Maha-Metro, which is also involved in the Nagpur and Pune Metro projects, the Thane Integral Ring Metro project, and the operation and maintenance of Navi Mumbai Metro Line 1, will oversee implementation.
