Metro line status
The Hinjewadi-Shivajinagar Metro (Pune Metro Line 3) is a 23.3-km line with 23 stations, developed under a PPP model with Tata-Siemens as the private partner. The project cost is ₹8,313 crore.
Safety authority CMRS granted provisional authorisation for the 13-km Maan to R.K. Laxman Museum (Balewadi) stretch in July 2026. Coverage in August 2026 said passenger operations were likely to begin in the first week of September 2026. Later reporting from late September 2026 said the 23 km line could be ready for commuters within 10 to 12 days once technical conditions were met. Independent confirmation of the opening date beyond that reporting is not yet available.
A headline on the second phase states it may take until March 2027. Work on the Hinjewadi-Maan-Marunji road widening is also in progress.
