The Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation and Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation signed a memorandum of understanding to redevelop Pune's Shivajinagar bus station under a public-private partnership model at an estimated cost of Rs 825 crore. The project, approved by the state Cabinet, aims to create one of Maharashtra's largest modern bus stations with passenger facilities, bus parking, and commercial spaces.
