The Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has officially approved Phase‑2 of the Pune Metro Rail Project—comprising two elevated extensions of the existing Line‑2 (Vanaz–Ramwadi).
The estimated project cost is Rs.3626.24 crore, to be equally shared by the Government of India, Government of Maharashtra, and external bilateral/multilateral agencies. This strategic proposal is a logical extension of the existing Corridor-2 and aligns with the Comprehensive Mobility Plan (CMP), which envisions a continuous Chandani Chowk to Wagholi Metro corridor to strengthen East–West mass transit in Pune.
This phase encompasses the extension of existing Phase-I corridors, specifically the Vanaz to Chandani Chowk (Corridor 2A) and Ramwadi to Wagholi/Vitthalwadi (Corridor 2B). This expansion demonstrates a commitment to addressing the growing transportation needs of Pune’s expanding urban landscape.
By extending the metro lines, the project aims to improve connectivity, reduce traffic congestion, and provide a more efficient and sustainable mode of transportation for the city’s residents. The approval signals a continued investment in the development of Pune as a modern and accessible metropolis.
