Pune’s metro has seen significant development in recent years, with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently opening a new section of the network and the European Investment Bank granting a €150m loan to support its construction in 2023. 

The metro’s 23km Line 3 will feature 23 stations and is expected to open in March 2025.
