Background
Pune has witnessed enormous industrial growth since 1990s. Rapid urbanisation in the recent past has put the city's
travel infrastructure to stress. With an increase in small scale, medium scale as well as heavy industries, the traffic in
the city is rising at alarming rates. The roads in the city, while being narrow, cater to various kinds of vehicles
simultaneously. Such roads, at an optimum can carry 8,000 peak hour peak direction traffic (PHPDT). Being a
densely populated area, Pune's traffic needs cannot be met by road-based system and additional flyovers. Pune
Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal Ltd. (PMPML), the public transport provider that operates buses and BRT
services in Pune has failed to meet the transport needs.[20][21][22][23] This has mainly contributed to an unhealthy
growth of vehicles on roads. According to reports published in April 2018, the number of vehicles registered in the
city stands at 3.62 million surpassing the population of the city.[24][25] Such a high density of traffic has put the
urban transport system in Pune under severe stress leading to longer travel time, increased air pollution and rise in
number of road accidents.[26] In light of this, a strong public transport system has been discussed in Pune since the
early 2000s. Initially, Skybus Metro, a prototype suspended railway system developed by the Konkan Railways, was
being considered on a 7.5-km route between Swargate and Pune Railway Station.[27] However, following a tragic
mishap in September 2004, the project took a back seat.[28]
On 15 August 2008, the preparation of Detailed Project Report (DPR) work was undertaken by the Delhi Metro
Rail Corporation (DMRC) and submitted their report.[29] In 2010, the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) delayed
submitting the proposal to the Union government to make provisions in the annual budget for the project. The initial
project consisting of two lines with a combined length of 31.25 km was approved by the State in June 2012.[30][31]
However, it received the final approval from the Central Government only on 7 December 2016, almost 4.5 years
later.[32] PM Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone on 24 December 2016.[11] MahaMetro is implementing the
two lines,[12] viz. the partly elevated and partly underground Purple line from Pimpri & Chinchwad to Swargate and
the completely elevated Aqua line from Vanaz to Ramwadi.[33] MahaMetro expects to complete the project in
2021.[34] Days after the foundation stone for the MahaMetro lines was laid, PMRDA approved Line 3 (Hinjawadi
Phase-I, II, III - Shivajinagar) on 29 December 2016.[7][8][35] The project will be implemented by PMRDA on a
PPP basis.[6] It was approved by the State on 2 January 2018 and by the Centre on 7 March 2018.[7]

MahaMetro and PMRDA

The Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) had proposed to take over the Metro project,
which was declined by the PMC and PCMC.[36][37] The opposing representatives said that the Metro rail is going to
be implemented by Special Purpose Vehicle. Instead, the civic bodies suggested inclusion of PMRDA in the SPV to
increase the reach of the Metro rail. PMRDA will execute only Line 3 i.e. Shivajinagar to Hinjawadi (Phase-I, II, III)
line. They will follow PPP model for the project.[38] For the implementation of the initial two lines, the former
Nagpur Metro Rail Corporation was reconstituted to form Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Limited
(MahaMetro).[39][40][41]

MahaMetro lines

Purple Line (PCMC Bhavan – Swargate)

Purple Line runs from PCMC Bhavan in Pimpri to Swargate. The 16.59-km line is elevated till Range Hills with 9
stations and goes underground up to Swargate with 5 stations. This route runs via Nashik Phata, Khadki and
Shivajinagar.[43][44] The maintenance depot for this line will be located near the Range Hills station on the land
acquired from the College of Agriculture.[45][46]

The 5.09-km long underground section of Purple Line from Agriculture

College to Swargate is being carried out in two packages: 1. Agriculture
college to Budhwar Peth; 2. Budhwar Peth to Swargate.[47][48] Mahametro
has invited separate tenders for these two packages each involving the design
and construction of the stations and associated tunnels.[48][49] Following
firms have submitted the bids: L&T, Tata projects-Gulermark JV, Shanghai
Tunnel Engineering, J Kumar, Afcons.

The underground station at Swargate will be a part of a multimodal transit Pune Metro near Pimpri-Chinchwad
hub integrating intra- and inter-city bus services run by PMPML and
MSRTC, autorickshaws, as well as parking facility for private
vehicles.[50][51] The project is being undertaken by MahaMetro on a PPP basis at a cost of ₹1,600 crore (equivalent
to ₹18 billion or US$230 million in 2020).[52] In August 2018, J Kumar Infraprojects was awarded the contract for
the hub.[53]

Alignment Revision

In April 2018, MahaMetro began construction in the Kharalwadi and Morwadi area on the elevated stretch of the
line between PCMC Bhavan and Range Hills. For the construction, the barricades on the newly built BRTS lane
were removed. MahaMetro claimed it to be temporary and revealed that an earlier plan to construct the pillars on the
footpath was dropped due to utility lines running below the surface.[54][55] However, the PCMC conducted trials on
the BRTS route in April 2018 and intended to launch services soon and therefore ordered MahaMetro to stop
construction.[55][56] As a result, MahaMetro revised the alignment in May 2018, one year after construction began
on the line.[57][58]

Proposed Extensions

Ever since the Centre gave its nod for the first two metro corridors, there has been a demand for extending the Purple
line from PCMC Bhavan to Bhakti Shakti Chowk, Nigdi.[59][60] In light of these demands, PCMC decided to
prepare DPRs for the extensions in their respective jurisdictions and bear the cost for it.[61] However, on 18 January
2018, MLA and Pune's Guardian Minister Girish Bapat announced in his speech at the ground-breaking ceremony
for the first metro station at Sant Tukaram Nagar that work on the extension would be taken up only in the "second
phase" of the project without mentioning a timeline.[62] As a result, confusion ensued and social organizations in
Pimpri, Chinchwad, Akurdi held a token hunger strike in February 2018 to press their demand for extension.[63] In
April 2018, PCMC earmarked a sum of ₹50 crore (equivalent to ₹57  crore or US$7.1  million in 2020) so that
MahaMetro could prepare a DPR for the Nigdi extension.[64] In October 2018, MahaMetro submitted the DPR for
the 4.5-km long extension to the PCMC with an estimated cost of ₹947 crore (US$120  million). The DPR was
approved by the state in February 2021 and is awaiting the nod from the centre.[65][66]

There have also been demands for extending the line from Swargate to Katraj.[67] DPR prepared by MahaMetro for
the 5.4-km long extension was approved by the PMC in September 2021. The extension is planned to be entirely
underground and will have 3 stations at Gultekdi market yard, Padmavati and Katraj. The extension is expected to
cost ₹4,020 crore (US$500 million).[68][69]

Aqua Line (Vanaz - Ramwadi)

Aqua line runs from Ramwadi to Vanaz via Mangalwar Peth and Deccan
Gymkhana. The line is so named because a section of it passes through the
Mula-Mutha river bed. The elevated line covers a distance of 14.66 km and
has 16 stations. It connects with the Purple line and Line 3 at the Civil Court
interchange station. The maintenance depot for the Aqua line is located near
the Vanaz station on the former garbage depot land.[70][71]

Alignment revisions
First set of coaches arrive for Pune
In November 2015, a revised proposal submitted to the PMC by the DMRC Metro Trials on Reach 1 at Sant
suggested realigning the route along the Mutha river as against the earlier Tukaram Nagar Metro Station
alignment along the Jangali Maharaj Road, Pune to reduce the project cost.
The route length now is 14.66  km, reducing the length by 260 m.[72] The
alignment of Line 2 was once again revised in January 2018 due to Indian Railways' expansion plans.[73]

In September 2018, the National Monument Authority rejected permission sought by MahaMetro to build near Aga
Khan Palace in the prohibited area of the monument.[74][75] No construction is permitted within 100 m of a
monument under AMASR Act, 1958. This led to a third revision in the alignment of line 2, for which MahaMetro
has suggested the PMC three alternative alignments for the Civil Court to Ramwadi section near the
monument.[76][77][78] A diversion from Kalyani Nagar which increased the route length by 0.06 km and the cost by
₹135 crore (equivalent to ₹153 crore or US$19 million in 2020) was approved.[79][80]

Proposed Extensions

Although the Aqua line currently terminates at Vanaz in the west, it was
decided to extend the line till Chandani Chowk. The decision came in
February 2018, when a longstanding dispute over the erstwhile garbage
depot land in Kothrud was resolved by allotting it to MahaMetro for the
development of a metro depot. A permanent exhibition depicting the life of
Shivaji - the Shivsrushti (Marathi: शिवसृष्टी) project - which was also planned
at the same location, will instead be built on the land reserved for a
Metro Work at Nalstop
biodiversity park near Chandani Chowk.[81] The station at Chandani Chowk
will bear the name of the Shivsrushti project. A DPR is being prepared for
the 2-km long extension and an additional station between Vanaz and Shivsrushti (Chandani Chowk) at Bhusari
Colony is being contemplated. MahaMetro will bear the costs for this extension.[82] There have been demands for
the extension of the line from Ramwadi to Wagholi as well as a connection to the Pune International
Airport.[83][84][85]

Rolling Stock

The purple and aqua line of the Pune Metro use standard gauge rolling stock manufactured by Titagarh Firema. The
trains consist of 3 coaches each, have a total capacity of 970 passengers and can reach a maximum speed of 90
kmph.[86][87] The aluminium-bodied coaches are 29 m long, 11.3 m high and 2.9 m wide. Each coach has a capacity
of 320 passengers with longitudinal seating for 44 passengers. The trains are fully air-conditioned and feature CCTV,
panic buttons, emergency doors, public address systems and audio-visual systems for indicating opening and closing
of doors. One coach in each train is reserved for women and there are dedicated spaces for passengers in
wheelchairs.[88][89]

Cost

The MahaMetro lines were estimated to cost ₹11,522 crore (US$1.4 billion), a hike of ₹653 crore (US$82 million)
from the 2014 estimate.[90] The PMC and PCMC will each bear 5% of the cost, while the state government and the
central government will each bear 20% of the cost. The remaining 50% will be obtained as loans. The state
government's share of 20% includes the expenses of acquiring land, including government land, at market price.[91]
The delay in the execution of the project has resulted in an upward revision of ₹ 700 crores (US$107.8 million) in
the draft civic budget for 2015-16 presented by Municipal Commissioner Kunal Kumar.[92]

On 17 September 2016, the central government had approved a proposal seeking loan of ₹6,325 crore
(US$790  million) from the World Bank and China-based Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) for the
project.[93] However, as of March 2018, MahaMetro was negotiating loans worth ₹4,500 crore (US$560  million)
and ₹2,000 crore (US$250  million) from the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the French Development
Agency (Agence française de développement, AFD).[94] On 28 January 2019, the Department of Economic Affairs
on behalf of the Centre and the AFD signed a facility framework agreement to extend bilateral funding of
₹2,000 crore (US$250 million).[95][96]
PMRDA line

Line 3 Hinjawadi – Civil Court

Line 3 will run from Civil Court, Pune to Megapolis Pune (including Maan and Bhoirwadi) in Hinjawadi. The 23.3-
km line will be completely elevated and will have 23 stations and will align with the MahaMetro lines at the Civil
Court interchange station.[7][8] The construction will be taken up in two phases, the section between Hinjawadi and
Balewadi is expected to be taken up first followed by the section between Balewadi and Civil Court, Shivajinagar. A
metro car shed will be built in Hinjawadi. The MIDC will provide 55 acres of land in Hinjawadi for setting up a
Metro rail depot.[43][97][98]

The line will also connect to the multimodal transit hub planned along the National Highway 48 in Balewadi which
will integrate the inter- and intra-city bus services and BRTS operated by the MSRTC and PMPML.[99][100] The
hub will be constructed on a PPP basis under the Smart City mission and is expected to cost ₹1,251 crore
(US$160  million). The hub will comprise a built-up space of 1,900,000 square feet (180,000  m2 ) including
1,750,000 square feet (163,000  m2 ) of commercial office space, parking space for 80 buses, 1942 cars and 3884
two-wheelers.[99][101] As of October 2018, offers from international and national real estate developers have been
invited for the hub and the PMC is in the process of land transfer to the executing agency, Pune Smart City
Development Corporation Ltd. (PSCDCL).[99][102]

Proposed Extension

PMRDA has announced that the line would be extended from the Civil Court intersection up to Phursungi IT Park
via Hadapsar.[103][104] The DPR for the extension is being prepared by DMRC. This would add another 11.8 km of
elevated corridor to the network and 12 additional stations.[105][106]

Cost

The line is estimated to cost ₹8,313 crore (US$1.0 billion) and will be implemented by PMRDA on a PPP basis.
The private partner will bring in 60% of the funds, 30% in equity and 70% in debt, while the rest 40% will be
provided together by the Centre, State and PMRDA. The Centre has already approved a sum of ₹1,300 crore
(US$160 million) as viability gap funding, while the State will provide ₹812 crore (US$100 million) and PMRDA
will come up with the rest.[15] The private partner will build, operate and maintain the line for 35 years.[107]

On 31 July 2018, the State government allotted 5.1 hectares (13.84 acres) of land with a market value of ₹153 crore
(US$19 million) for Line 3. This land located in Balewadi will be monetized by the bidder for financial viability and
forms a part of the costs to be borne by the State.[108][109]

Issues

Delay in Implementation

The citizens and city based NGOs have regularly raised questions over the intention of the state governments as to
whether they actually want to implement the project. The project was proposed way back in 2007 by the Chief
Ministers of Maharashtra, but did not move ahead due to many reasons. The DPR was itself approved only on 12
June 2012.[124] At an event in 2013 during his tour of the city, the Metroman E. Sreedharan blamed the people
involved in planning and implementing the project for the long delay, stating that "Pune lost five valuable years in
unnecessary discussions instead of executing the project."[125]

Alignment Issue

Initial plans were to build a few sections underground and the rest elevated. However, citizens of Pune did not want
elevated routes as they felt that the roads could not bear the increased traffic that would result from the construction.
Most roads were too narrow to accommodate the pillars of elevated routes. It was decided that all the routes in the
city would be underground, although the map and the details of phases showed elevated routes. In November 2011,
the state government declared that all the routes would be underground. However, in April 2012, the PMC declared
that all routes will be as per the DMRC report, mostly elevated and partially underground in core city areas.[126] On
27 May 2015, the then Minister of Housing and Urban Affairs stated that underground metro was not a feasible
option and that Pune, like other cities, will have to get an elevated metro as suggested by the DMRC. But as per the
city activists, elevated metro is not possible due to presence of some flyovers along the route of metro and narrow
roads on the metro corridor, which will cause traffic congestion and interruption.[92] To alleviate the confusion, Chief
Ministers of Maharashtra announced that Pune will get "mixed-metro", as the alignment of some routes does support
elevated sections.[127]

Metro phase I was criticized by Pimpri Chinchwad Citizens Forum, Pune (PCCF), believing that the project will not
benefit nearly 70 per cent area of PCMC Administration, as it will not serve the Akurdi, Chinchwad and Nigdi
stretch.[128] Adding further, the citizens group supported their cause by stating that it would take another 5 years
after phase II gets approval from Union Cabinet for metro to reach core PCMC administered areas. Since
infrastructure projects take a lot of time to get approvals, they fear metro will not reach Nigdi before 2025. Many
architects and urban planners also vouch for Nigdi's role in transport management.

Environment Interest Litigation

In May 2016, an environment interest litigation (EIL) was filed in the western zone bench of the National Green
Tribunal (NGT) against the realignment of Line 2 from Jangali Maharaj Road to the Mutha River bed.[72][129] The
litigants MP Anu Aga, Sarang Yadwadkar, Arti Kirloskar and Dileep Padgaonkar expressed concerns over free flow
of the river being obstructed by the pillars supporting the 1.7-km stretch of the metro viaduct.[129] In October 2016,
the Biodiversity Monitoring Committee of the PMC reported that the metro project could be catastrophic for the
riverbed ecology, corroborating the EIL.[130] The NGT put an interim stay on metro construction in the river bed on
2 January 2017, days after the foundation stone was laid on 24 December 2016.[131][132] The stay, however, was
put on hold by the Supreme Court.[133][134] Subsequently, after the MahaMetro was formed and became a
respondent in the EIL, it unsuccessfully moved the Supreme Court challenging the NGT's jurisdiction on the
case.[135] In October 2017, the NGT resumed the hearing and appointed an expert committee convened by the
National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI) to study the impact of the metro project on the river
bed.[136] In January 2018, the report was submitted and stated that the construction would not damage the river.[137]
However, the case is still pending in the NGT. Since 1 February 2018, the NGT's western zone bench in Pune is
unable to function following a Supreme Court order restricting single-member benches of the NGT from hearing
cases.[138][139][140] The case is expected to be heard in July 2018, when the circuit bench of the NGT will hear
cases for three weeks in Pune.[141][142] On 3 August 2018, the principal bench of the NGT cleared metro
construction on the river bed. The clearance is subject to MahaMetro complying with the recommendations made by
the three-member expert committee, which had concluded that the construction would not damage riverbed
hydrology.[143][144][145]

FSI Debate

The DMRC had proposed 4 FSI on either side of the corridor to achieve greater population densification through
vertical development of residential and commercial properties. The PMC will raise money for the metro and needed
civic amenities to support the higher density. Furthermore, PMC hopes to increase the use of metro.

Some members of the planning committee have suggested that three FSI be granted not only within a 500-m radius
along the metro corridor but also in the entire city. Members have suggested that the amount collected through the
premium on additional FSI should be turned into an urban development fund. A 60% share of this fund should be
used for the metro project, while 15% for the PMPML and high capacity mass transit road and monorail and 25% for
developing basic infrastructure.[146]

But as per several urban planners, NGOs and experts, the FSI introduction will have more drawbacks than benefits
for the city.[147]

1. Even if half of the landowners along the metro corridor take advantage of the 4 FSI proposal, it will
lead to 20 km2 of built up area in coming years, which is more than the total housing needs of Pune
for the next 20 years.
2. The PMC would raise ₹37,000 crore (US$4.6 billion) from the sale of FSI whereas it needs just
₹3,000 crore (US$380 million).
3. In the area studied, most of the plots which could consume the 4 FSI were at the edge of the corridor
away from the stations, while many plots next to the tracks and the stations would remain as they are,
since they are too small to accommodate the extra FSI. This plan might backfire as the distance of
these plots from the nearby metro corridor might encourage the residents to use private vehicles and
thus, defeat the purpose of metro.
4. Given the prevailing land costs, the new development that comes up will be of the "premium"
category. Thus any new housing that comes up through this extra FSI will cater to the more affluent
segment, which is the group least likely to use the Metro.
5. The open space per capita in the city will be reduced to half or less of what it is at present. The space
required for other public amenities like hospitals, schools, clinics etc. will also fall short since very
few plots are large enough to come under the "amenity" space rules under which the landowners
have to give small portion to the city for providing amenities.[148]

In July 2018, the Department of Defence of the MoD notified height restrictions in a six-kilometer radius of the
National Defence Academy and the Lohegaon airport. This area accounts for approximately 50% of the city's area.
The notification restricts the construction of high-rise buildings and has made 4 FSI along the metro corridor under
the transit-oriented development policy impossible.[149]
