Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday inaugurated the Pune Metro section from District Court to Swargate, which also marks the completion of the Pune Metro Rail Project (Phase-1), via video conference. The cost of the underground section between the District Court to Swargate is around Rs1,810 crore.
He also laid the foundation stone for the Swargate-Katraj extension of the Pune Metro Phase-1 to be developed at the cost of around 2,955 crore. This southern extension of 5.46 km is completely underground with three stations, namely Market Yard, Padmavati and Katraj, according to officials.
The extension will connect areas like Padmavati, Balaji Nagar, Dhankawadi and Katraj to the metro network.
Speaking at the inauguration function, PM Modi said, "Pune should have had an advanced transport system like the metro much earlier but unfortunately, in the past decades, there has been a lack of both planning and vision in the urban development of our country."
