System map

Pune Metro is a mass rapid transit system serving the city of Pune, India. The system comprises 3 lines with a combined length of 54.14 km (33.64 mi), of which 21.75 km (13.51 mi) on two lines are operational as of August 2023. The 16.59 km (10.31 mi) Purple Line from PCMC Bhavan to Swargate runs on an elevated viaduct between PCMC Bhavan to Range Hills, from where it goes underground. The Aqua Line runs from Vanaz to Ramwadi covering a distance of 14.66 km (9.11 mi) on an elevated viaduct. The 23.33 km (14.50 mi) elevated Line 3 will run from the Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park in Hinjawadi via Balewadi to Civil Court. All three lines will align at the Civil Court interchange station.

The foundation stone for the Purple and Aqua lines was laid by prime minister Narendra Modi in December 2016. The two lines with a combined length of 31.25 km (19.42 mi) are being implemented by the Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Limited (MahaMetro), a 50:50 joint venture of the state and central governments. Sections of the purple and aqua lines were inaugurated in March 2022. Additional sections on both lines became operational in August 2023. Line 3 is being implemented by Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) and is a joint venture of Tata Realty and IRB on a public–private partnership basis. While the foundation stone for Line 3 was laid in December 2018, construction could only commence in November 2021 due to delays in land acquisition.
