Government Approves Pune Metro Extension to Nigdi but Delays Swargate-Katraj Route
The Indian government has given its approval for the extension of the Pune Metro from Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) to Bhakti-Shakti Chowk in Nigdi, which will expand the city's metro network by approximately 4.413 kilometers. This new section will consist of three elevated stations and is estimated to cost ₹910.18 crore, with an expected completion date in early 2027. Meanwhile, the approval for the Swargate to Katraj route, a vital and heavily traveled segment of the Pune Metro, has been postponed and is currently under review by central authorities due to its higher estimated cost of ₹3,663 crore.
The extension of the Pune Metro is anticipated to have a positive impact on residents in the Chinchwad, Akurdi, and Nigdi areas, offering a crucial transportation link. While the government's consent for the PCMC to Bhakti-Shakti Chowk extension is a promising development, the delay in the Swargate to Katraj route underscores the significance of thorough evaluation and financial considerations for the expansion of the city's metro network.
