The Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation has started work on the Detailed Project Report (DPR) for a 20-kilometre metro corridor from Shivajinagar to Kondhwa, which will also include a spur to NIBM. The report is expected to be ready within the next three months and will finalize cost estimates, alignments, and engineering strategies. This development marks another major step in expanding Pune’s metro network, offering much-needed relief to commuters in the city’s growing southern corridors.

Key Highlights

  • The new line is part of Pune Metro Rail Project-3 (PMR-3) and aims to connect Shivajinagar with Kondhwa, Yewalewadi, and NIBM.
  • Consultant selection and tender processes have already begun, with DPR submission expected soon for approval.
  • The corridor is designed to tackle heavy traffic congestion in Kondhwa and adjoining areas that currently lack robust public transit.
  • Metro officials emphasize that this extension will play a critical role in easing road pressure and improving connectivity to southern Pune.

Market Implications

For Pune’s real estate market, metro expansion typically leads to increased demand and higher appreciation potential in connected areas. Improved connectivity not only makes commuting easier for end-users but also enhances the attractiveness of residential and commercial projects nearby. Developers, investors, and buyers are expected to closely monitor this corridor’s progress to identify future growth opportunities.

Why Imperio Towers in Tathawade Stands to Gain

While the corridor focuses on southern Pune, overall metro expansion strengthens the city’s real estate ecosystem. Projects in well-connected western suburbs are also set to benefit as demand shifts toward accessible, future-ready locations. Miracle Group’s Imperio Towers in Tathawade is one such development, offering modern 2 and 3 BHK residences with premium amenities. With Pune’s metro footprint growing, Imperio Towers becomes an even more compelling choice for families and investors seeking connectivity, convenience, and long-term value.
