Pune Metro Line 3 to Open November 4 with Partial Station Operation and Higher Fares
Pune Metro Line 3, a 23.2-km elevated corridor connecting Maan near Hinjawadi IT Park with Shivajinagar, will open for passenger services on November 4, following a virtual inauguration by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on November 3. Initially, 17 of the 23 stations will be operational, with six stations remaining closed. Developed under a public-private partnership model, the metro aims to improve connectivity between residential, commercial, and employment hubs. Fares are expected to be higher than existing Pune Metro lines, with a review planned after six months.
