Maha-Metro to Relocate 132 kV Power Line for Swargate-Katraj Underground Metro Project
The Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Limited (Maha-Metro) plans to relocate a 132 kV overhead power transmission line near Balaji Nagar to facilitate construction of the Swargate-Katraj underground Metro corridor in Pune. This corridor will extend the existing north-south line beyond Swargate, including three underground stations at Balaji Nagar, Market Yard, and Katraj. Maha-Metro has invited national bids and will coordinate with Maharashtra State Electricity Transmission Company Limited (MSETCL) to ensure the relocation proceeds without disrupting power supply. The work involves dismantling existing towers and installing modified transmission lines to provide clearance for the underground infrastructure.
