Among the new metro lines, Swargate-Katraj and Vanaj-Chandni Chowk lines have started initial works. While the works on Ramwadi-Wagholi and Khadakwasla-Swargate-Kharadi routes are likely to start soon. All these works will be completed in phases.

They demand that the local citizens should be considered while deciding the locations of the stations. These new metro lines will make travel in Pune faster and more convenient. This project will be important to reduce future traffic congestion.
