The Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (Maha-Metro) is planning an ambitious expansion of Pune’s metro network that promises to significantly enhance connectivity across the Pimpri-Chinchwad region. Following the successful integration of Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad and extensive coverage of Pune city through metro rail, the latest proposal aims to create the longest metro route, linking key localities and extending all the way to the industrial hub of Chakan.
This new metro corridor is set to run through crucial suburbs such as Nigdi, Wakad, Pimple Saudagar, and Bhosari, effectively knitting together residential, commercial, and industrial zones within Pimpri-Chinchwad. By doing so, it will offer seamless, efficient, and rapid transit options for daily commuters, reducing travel time and easing road traffic congestion in one of Maharashtra’s fastest-growing urban areas.Wakad, a bustling suburb already known for its IT parks and residential complexes, will become a vital transit point on this corridor, connecting people from diverse parts of the city.
The proposed route will provide easy access to the industrial town of Chakan, which is home to numerous manufacturing units and automotive industries, further supporting workforce mobility and economic growth.This connectivity enhancement is expected to encourage more commuters to shift from road to rail, promoting sustainable urban transport and reducing pollution.
At the same time, it will spur real estate development and commercial activity in the connected regions, driving overall urban development in Pimpri-Chinchwad.Maha-Metro’s vision reflects a strategic push to create a comprehensive metro network that not only links Pune’s core areas but also integrates its expanding suburbs and industrial zones. Once completed, this extended route via Wakad will be a game-changer for urban mobility, economic vitality, and the quality of life for residents in and around Pimpri-Chinchwad.
