Pune Railway Station Undergoes ₹442 Crore Upgrade with New Platforms and Holding Area
Pune railway station is undergoing a ₹442 crore upgrade including platform extensions, new platforms, and an electronic interlocking system to increase capacity and accommodate longer trains. The project aims to double platforms from six to 12 and add about 20 train services daily.

The new holding area will streamline passenger flow with designated pre-ticketing, ticketing, and post-ticketing zones, expected to be ready by December.
