The Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) and L&T Infra Engineering, as part of their Comprehensive Mobility Plan (CMP), are contemplating building a 71-km light metro project. To start with, the first part of the corridor would be 9.08 km long, an extension from Sinhagad Road to Veer Baji Pasalkar Chowk to Pune Cantonment. The next phase of construction would be a 8.87-km stretch from Warje to Swargate, a 35.23-km line from Wagholi to Hinjewadi and another 17.81-km line from Chandani Chowk to Hinjewadi. These LRT lines would add up to a total length of 70.99 km. There has been public demand to extend the three Metro lines being built in Pune, that is, to extend the 16,59-km East-West Corridor-I (Pimpri Chinchwad to Swargate) to Nigdi at one end and Katraj at the other. As for the 14.93-km North-South Corridor-II (Vanaz to Ramwadi), the residents want it extended to Wagholi on one side and Chandani Chowk on the other. For the 23.3-km third line (Hinjewadi to Shivajinagar), an extension to Hadapsar is being sought. The DPRs for these extensions are being prepared and the projects are likely to be taken up shortly.
