Pune Metro Line 3 Launch Delayed Amid Election Code and Awaited PMO Date
The launch of Pune Metro Line 3, connecting Hinjewadi and Shivajinagar, has been delayed due to the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) for the Maharashtra Legislative Council elections. The Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) awaits an inauguration date from the Prime Minister's Office and guidance on holding the launch during the MCC period. The first 12 stations received provisional safety clearance in July, with plans to open 17 stations pending final approval for additional sections.
