Laxman Museum (Balewadi) with 12 stations. Following detailed inspections, safety tests, and trial runs conducted in early July, the corridor is approved to operate trains at speeds up to 80 km/h using advanced signalling and traction systems. Officials highlighted this milestone as a key step toward launching passenger services and easing traffic congestion in the Hinjewadi-Shivajinagar corridor.
