About Pune Metro

As Pune city continues to prosper and advance on four crucial pillars—Industry, Education, Agriculture, and Culture—the Puneri Metro holds a distinctive position, contributing to all aspects of the city’s economy. It stands as a fitting tribute to India’s happiest city, aiming to be an environmentally friendly, sustainable, efficient, and user-friendly transportation system that supports the city’s enterprising citizens.

Spanning over 33 km, the initial phase of the Pune Metro consists of two corridors linking PCMC to Swargate and Vanaz to Ramwadi. The Aqua and Purple lines’ initial 12 km became operational in March 2022, with the stretch from Phugewadi to Shivajinagar and Garware College to Ruby Hall Clinic becoming operational on August 1, 2023. The Pune Metro project, managed by MAHA Metro—a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) of the Government of India and the Government of Maharashtra—aims to create world-class metro stations and surrounding areas showcasing the rich cultural heritage, providing a modern, safe, secure, comfortable, and integrated public transport system for Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad, enhancing citizens’ lifestyles.

Pune Metro, an urban Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS), is being constructed in Pune, Maharashtra, by Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Limited (Maha-Metro) and Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA). The Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the 31.254 km Pune Metro Phase 1 project, comprising two metro lines and 29 stations, was initially prepared and submitted by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation in July 2009. It underwent revisions in January 2013, August 2014, and November 2015 to reflect current prices.

Despite State Government approval in 2012, the project faced obstacles, including red tape, politics, and opposition from local NGOs and activists due to its predominantly elevated nature. The project received final approval from the Union Government’s Cabinet on December 7, 2016. Commercial operations on two sections of Phase 1 were inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on March 6, 2022.

Furthermore, the Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority is developing a third line, mostly elevated, connecting Hinjewadi to Civil Court through a public–private partnership (PPP) model. This initiative is being executed by a consortium of TRIL Urban Transport Private Limited (a Tata Group Company) and Siemens Project Ventures GmbH (a subsidiary of Siemens Financial Services).

While the detailed project report (DPR) for Pune Metro Phase 2 has not been prepared yet, it is anticipated to include new corridors and extensions of existing metro lines to Katraj, Chandni Chowk, Kharadi, Hadapsar, Loni Kalbhor, Katraj, Khadakwasla, and Warje.

Impact of Pune metro on real estate

Infrastructure development plays a crucial role in driving the expansion of the real estate sector. The micro-markets adjacent to the Pune Metro, particularly those in close proximity to the currently operational stations, are experiencing significant growth in property values. PCMC boasts numerous land parcels, both government-owned and private. Since the announcement of the metro rail, property prices have seen an upward trend, increasing by at least 7-8 percent. Developers are actively constructing residential apartments, and private individuals are either selling their land to builders or opting to put their properties on rent to generate a substantial Return on Investment (ROI). This region is poised to become a focal point following the full implementation of the metro.

Conversely, in micro-markets that already excel in terms of connectivity and livability, the impact of the metro is yet to be fully realized. Once the Pune Metro becomes fully operational, it is expected to have a positive influence on the real estate market, leading to a minimum 10 percent increase in property prices in developed areas and potentially even higher in emerging localities.

As the Pune Metro rail project progresses at a rapid pace, it is anticipated that commuting within the city will become more seamless. Additionally, the metro is likely to contribute to a reduction in pollution levels while simultaneously boosting property prices in the surrounding areas.
