Pune Metro Line 3, a 23.2-km elevated corridor connecting Maan and Hinjewadi IT Park with Shivajinagar, will be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on November 3, with passenger services starting November 4 at 6 am. The project, costing approximately ₹8,313 crore, is India's first metro developed under a public-private partnership model. Initially, 17 of 23 stations will open, with fares ranging from ₹12 to ₹62, higher than existing Pune Metro fares due to the PPP framework. Trains will run every six minutes during peak hours and connect with existing metro lines at District Court station.
