Pune Metro’s Line-2 Extension Receives Official Approval for Ruby Hall Clinic to Ramwadi Section
Yerwada, 21st February 2024: The Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety (CMRS) has granted official approval for the Ruby Hall Clinic to Ramwadi section on Pune Metro’s Line-2. This endorsement follows a meticulous inspection conducted by the CMRS last month, culminating in a few minor observations that required rectification before obtaining the green light for commercial operations.
While the commencement date for passenger services remains uncertain, there is a possibility that the Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation (MahaMetro) could initiate operations within the next two days, subject to directives from the state government.
This newly approved stretch is an integral part of the first phase of the Pune Metro rail project, comprising two primary corridors: the north-south (Purple line) and the east-west (Aqua line). Together, these corridors span a total length of 33.1 kilometers, featuring 30 stations. The north-south corridor, stretching 17.4 km from Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation to Swargate, is already partially operational, with the segment from Pimpri to Civil Court currently serving the public. The remaining 3.7-km stretch to Swargate is anticipated to open in March.
The east-west corridor, spanning 15.7 km from Vanaz to Ramwadi and encompassing 16 stations, is currently operational from Vanaz to Ruby Clinic. The eagerly awaited inauguration of the final 5.5-km stretch to Ramwadi is expected to happen soon.
Upon full completion, the Pune Metro will seamlessly connect the city, linking Vanaz to Ramwadi and PCMC to Swargate, expanding its reach from the current 24 km to an impressive 33.1 km.
