Pune Metro phase 2 proposal gets PMC approval

The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has given a green signal to the proposal for the second phase of the Pune Metro rail. The project will entail service from Khadakwasla to Kharadi via Swargate and Hadapsar, Puadphata to Manikbaug via Warje, Ramwadi to Kharadi, and Vanaz to Chandni Chowk.

The Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation (Maha Metro) has been entrusted to implement the extended route proposed in Phase 2 of Pune Metro. It submitted a detailed project report (DPR) to Pune Municipal Corporation. The Municipal Commissioner Vikram Kumar has said that the metro rail route from Khadakwasla to Kharadi via Swargate and Hadapsar (25.862 km) and the Paudphata to Manikbaug via Warje route (6.118 km) will be costing Rs 9,074.24 crore. He added that the Maha Metro will be raising a loan of Rs 4,354.84 crore, while the Centre, State and PMC will share the load of the remaining amount.

The 1.112-km metro rail route from Vanaz to Chandni Chowk and the 11.633-km route from Ramwadi to Wagholi will cost Rs 3,609.27. For this, the Maha Metro will raise Rs 1,895 crore via a loan, while the Centre and State will also contribute towards the project.

PMC will provide 209.41 sq m area on a temporary basis, and 2,297.17 sq m at Sarasbaug, Nehru Stadium, Ganesh Kala Kroda Manchi, on a permanent basis to Maha-Metro which is worth Rs 6.77 crore.

The detailed project report for the extended route was first submitted in September last year. However, it was revised and sent to the PMC for approval. The funding plan was also submitted for approval. The route is completely elevated.

As per Kumar, the route will be developed by Maha Metro and the PMC will not give any guarantee for the loan its plans to raise. PMC will include the metro rail route and its station in the city’s development plan.
