From Fines To Ticket Usage Time: 5 Essential Things To Know Before Taking The Pune Metro

Maha-Metro is currently overseeing the development of Pune Metro lines 1 and 2, spanning from Pimpri-Chinchwad to Swargate and from Vanaz to Ramwadi, respectively.

Line 2, which runs from Vanaz to Ramwadi, has been successfully completed and is operational. Progress has also been made on Line 1, with the elevated section from Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) to Civil Court now operational.

However, construction is ongoing for the underground section between Budhwar Peth and Swargate, with completion expected by June 2024.

The six-kilometre Metro line from Ruby Hall Clinic to Ramwadi, inaugurated by the Prime Minister, completed its trial run on February 5, 2024.
