Hinjewadi's metro link clears a key milestone, promising shorter commutes
A major section of the line passed testing this month, putting the long-awaited IT-corridor connection on track for phased opening.
Commuters along Pune’s busy IT corridor have reason for optimism. A key section of the Hinjewadi metro link cleared testing this month, moving the project closer to a phased opening.
What it means for commuters
The connection is expected to meaningfully cut travel times between the IT hubs and central Pune, easing one of the city’s most stubborn bottlenecks.
Built for the long run
Officials emphasised accessibility and last-mile connectivity in the latest update — details that determine whether a transit line genuinely changes how people move. For thousands of daily commuters, the milestone is a welcome step forward.
