Pune Metro Line 3: Second high-speed trial of Hinjewadi-Shivajinagar route successful
Pune: The Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) has successfully conducted the second high-speed trial of Metro Line 3 from Hinjewadi to Shivajinagar. This is being considered as a major milestone for the city's public transport system. Earlier this month, the first trial was conducted on the 23.3-km-long fully elevated line, between Mann Depot and PMR-4 station. Now, the second trial was conducted between Mann Depot and Hinjewadi Phase 2 at a speed of about 40 kmph. About 87% of the work of this project is complete. This second trial shows the efficiency, safety and capacity of the upcoming metro line.
Metro Line 3 is considered important for Punekars. It is expected to be a revolutionary project for daily commuters, especially those working in Hinjewadi IT Park. Once this metro is operational, this route will provide a faster, more reliable and eco-friendly transport option. Which will help reduce traffic congestion between Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad.

Route: Hinjewadi to Shivajinagar Total Length: 23.3 km (fully elevated) Stations: 23 including major interchange stations Train Capacity: 1,000 passengers per 3-coach, air-conditioned train Maximum Speed: Up to 80 kmph Route Completion: March 2026
Development through Public-Private Partnership (PPP)
The project is being implemented under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model by PMRDA and Pune IT City Metro Rail Limited (PITCRL). The project has progressed rapidly since the construction began on 25 November 2024. A PMRDA official said, "This successful trial is a symbol of our team's commitment. Metro Line 3 will play a significant role in reducing traffic congestion in Pune, especially in the Hinjewadi area.
Potential to be partially opened in September
Hinjewadi suffers from severe traffic congestion. Due to this, Punekars are suffering a lot. Therefore, PMRDA plans to open the 13-km stretch from Megapolis Circle to Balewadi Phata by September 2025, sources said. If this metro line is opened, it will be a big relief for the passengers. The construction of this metro line has reached the final stage. Therefore, Punekars will now have a faster and safer way of travelling.
