PM Modi Inaugurates Pune Metro Pink Line, Lays Foundation for Phase II Expansion
Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated Pune Metro Line 3, the 23-km Pink Line connecting Hinjewadi IT hub and Shivajinagar, built at a cost of over Rs 8,300 crore. The project aims to improve urban mobility, reduce traffic congestion, and lower vehicular emissions. Modi also laid the foundation stone for Phase II, involving four new metro corridors worth around Rs 13,500 crore, expanding connectivity across Pune. The Pink Line is notable for being operated entirely by women and using solar power for about 30% of its electricity needs. Local authorities plan feeder services and road development to enhance last-mile connectivity.
