Pune Metro rail project gets Centre’s nod

Pune Metro Rail Project, which aims to improve the public transport system, has got in-principle approval by the Union Urban Development Ministry.
The project will cover a length of 31.51 km along two corridors. While corridor-1 will be covering 16.59 km from PCMC to Swargate, corridor-2 will cover 14.92 km from Vanaz to Ramwadi.
The project aims to provide a world-class state-of-the-art metro rail system on pattern of Delhi Metro. In-principle approval of the project by the Government of India (GoI) will enable the State Government to take necessary action required for early implementation of the project.
