It comprises Pune Metro Lines 2A, 2B, 4 and 4A, which will substantially expand the city's Metro network and strengthen connectivity across important residential, commercial and IT hubs.


Under Phase-II, Metro Lines 2A and 2B will span a total length of around 12.75 kilometres.

• Line 2A will connect Vanaz to Chandani Chowk

The new Pune Metro corridors will connect several important locations, including Kharadi, Magarpatta, Hadapsar, Swargate, Manik Baug, Nanded City, Pune Cantonment and Warje.

The corridors will also integrate with existing Pune Metro network through interchange facilities at Swargate, Nal Stop and Kharadi Bypass.
