The Union Cabinet has approved an investment of about Rs 36.3 billion to extend Pune Metro鈥檚 Line 2, boosting east鈥搘est connectivity between the city centre and fast-growing suburbs. Announced on 25 June, the decision will deliver 12.75 kilometres of new track and 13 stations, serving areas such as Chandani Chowk, Bavdhan, Kothrud, Kharadi and Wagholi.

These links build on the existing Vanaz鈥揜amwadi corridor and form part of Pune鈥檚 expanding 33.3 km metro network, with a further 33 km already under construction.

The extension will connect key residential, educational and IT hubs, cutting journey times and easing traffic on major roads. By offering a reliable, low-carbon alternative to private vehicles, it supports Pune鈥檚 rapid population growth and aligns with India鈥檚 wider aim of sustainable urban mobility. Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw noted that India now ranks among the world鈥檚 three largest metro networks by length.
