Pune Metro Line 3 Set to Launch November 3 with Virtual Inauguration by PM Modi
Pune Metro Line 3, connecting Hinjewadi and Shivajinagar, is expected to begin operations on November 3, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi likely inaugurating the service virtually. Seventeen of the 23 stations have received safety clearance, while four await approval. The inauguration event will be held at Balewadi Stadium, attended by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and other officials. The project, developed under a public-private partnership, aims to ease traffic congestion for commuters, especially IT employees, after several delays.
