Pune Metro is a mass rapid transit system serving the city of Pune, India. As of December 2025, the system consists of two lines with a combined length of 32.97 km (20.49 mi), with a third line under construction.
The extended metro line from Ruby Hall Clinic to Ramwadi - including the Bund Garden, Kalyani Nagar and Ramwadi metro stations - covers a distance of 6 km (3.73 mi). It was inaugurated on 6 March 2024. The 16.59 km (10.31 mi) Purple Line from PCMC Bhavan to Swargate runs on an elevated viaduct between PCMC Bhavan to Range Hills, from where it goes underground. The Aqua Line runs from Vanaz to Ramwadi covering a distance of 14.66 km (9.11 mi) on an elevated viaduct. The 23.33 km (14.50 mi) elevated Line 3 Puneri Metro will run from the Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park in Hinjawadi via Balewadi to Civil Court. All three lines will align at the District Court interchange station.
The foundation stone for the Purple and Aqua lines was laid by prime minister Narendra Modi in December 2016. The two lines with a combined length of 32.97 km (20.49 mi) are being implemented by the Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Limited (MahaMetro), a 50:50 joint venture of the state and central governments. Sections of the purple and aqua lines were inaugurated in March 2022. Additional sections on both lines became operational in August 2023. Line 3 Puneri Metro is being implemented by Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) and is a joint venture of Tata Projects and Siemens Pune IT City Metro Rail Limited on a public–private partnership basis. While the foundation stone for Line 3 was laid in December 2018, construction could only commence in November 2021 due to delays in land acquisition.
Currently Mahametro has provided service on two major routes: from Swargate to PCMC and from Vanaz to Ramwadi. During the busy morning and evening periods (8-11 AM and 4-8 PM), the wait time between trains has been reduced from 7.5 to 7 minutes. This change adds four additional trips to each route bringing the total to 117 trips on the Pimpri Chinchwad to District Court route and 118 trips on the Vanaz to Ramwadi route.
