Pune Metro Advances: Line 3 Nears Opening, Range Hill Station Delayed by Land Issues
Pune Metro is progressing with key developments on different lines. Line 3, spanning 23 km with 23 stations connecting western Pune areas like Hinjawadi and Shivajinagar, has received safety clearance for five more stations, moving closer to opening. Meanwhile, Range Hill Metro station on Line 1 remains unopened due to delays in acquiring Army-controlled land, which was handed over in July 2022. Trial runs have been conducted, and work continues to complete remaining sections for full operation.
