thebalanced.newsPune Metro Expansion Near Katraj Sees Bus Stop Relocation Reversed Amid Construction
Pune Metro is advancing its expansion with underground and elevated corridors connecting Katraj and Chandni Chowk, including eight new stations expected by 2028-29. Recent relocation of three PMPML bus stops near Katraj for underground Metro work caused traffic disruptions and commuter inconvenience, leading to a rollback of the changes. Authorities plan revised arrangements to balance Metro construction with smooth bus operations while continuing work on the Swargate-Katraj corridor.
