MSIDC and Pune Metro to Collaborate on Double-Decker Road and Metro Infrastructure Projects
The Maharashtra State Infrastructure Development Corporation (MSIDC) and Pune Metro will sign two memoranda of understanding to develop infrastructure supporting Pune's Metro expansion alongside three major road projects: Kharadi Junction-Shirur (53.4 km), Hadapsar-Yavat (31.5 km), and Talegaon-Chakan-Shikrapur (53.2 km), costing over ₹18,100 crore. Portions of the Kharadi-Shirur and Hadapsar-Yavat roads will feature double-decker elevated corridors, with lower decks for vehicles and upper decks reserved for future Metro lines. The MoUs will define cost-sharing and civil works responsibilities, enabling Pune Metro to later install tracks and systems.
