These corridors are extensions of the existing Vanaz–Ramwadi Line (Phase-1) and aim to improve east-west connectivity across the city. Both corridors will be elevated and span 12.75 km, covering 13 stations across key areas like Chandani Chowk, Bavdhan, Kothrud, Kharadi, and Wagholi.

The project is expected to cost ₹3626.24 crore and will be jointly funded by the central and state governments, along with loans from international agencies. It is slated for completion in four years.

Prime Modi said, “Pune is rapidly developing in every sector today while also making a significant contribution to the country’s economy. To further accelerate this progress, we have approved the expansion of metro services here. This will not only boost transportation but also make people’s lives easier.”
