Pune Metro Pink Line projects worth ₹21,800 crore will witness formal inauguration and foundation stone laying by Prime Minister Narendra Modi today. Specifically, PM Modi will launch the new metro line via video conferencing on November 3, 2026, at 12:30 PM. Furthermore, this major infrastructure expansion will transform urban transit between key employment hubs and residential zones across Pune.
Project cost, total length, and key station corridors
The newly completed Line 3 project, widely known as the Pink Line, represents an investment of over ₹8,300 crore. Specifically, the corridor spans approximately 23 kilometres, directly connecting Maan to the District Court Metro station.
Additionally, the route links the bustling Hinjewadi IT hub directly with Shivajinagar. Consequently, thousands of software professionals and daily commuters will experience reduced travel times, lower road traffic congestion, and lower vehicle emissions.
