Union Civil Aviation Minister Murlidhar Mohol held a meeting with Union Urban Affairs minister Manohar Lal Khattar in New Delhi to give a push to the Pune Metro rail expansion project.
To give a push to the Pune Metro rail project expansion, city MP and Union Civil Aviation Minister Murlidhar Mohol on Friday requested the Union Urban Affairs Ministry to speed up tabling a proposal for the Union cabinet’s approval for the Ramwadi to Wagholi and Vanaz to Chandni Chowk stretches as well as seek the Public investment Board’s clearance for the proposed metro route from Kharadi to Khadakwasla via Hadapsar and Swargate.
Mohol held a meeting with Union Urban Affairs minister Manohar Lal Khattar in New Delhi to give a push to the Pune Metro rail expansion project.

“Considering the expansion of the city due to rapid urbanisation, it is necessary to extend the Metro rail network,” said Mohol.
The state government has approved the extension of the Metro rail route from Vanaz to Chandni Chowk and Ramwadi to Wagholi, he said, “The Public Investment Board gave clearance to the extended route on March 11. It only awaits the Union Cabinet’s approval so it’s a request to table it in the Cabinet as early as possible.”
Mohol said the state government has approved the proposal for the second phase of Pune metro rail, which includes the Kharadi to Khadakwasla route via Hadapsar and Swargate, and Nal Stop to Manikbaug via Warje. “Phase two has been tabled before the Public Investment Board, so as soon as it gets clearance, the Union Urban Affairs department should speed up its tabling in the union Cabinet for approval,” he said.
Pune Metro has started work on designing 14 of the 22 metro stations on the elevated Kharadi to Khadakwasla route. It has also taken up preparing a DPR for the proposed route from Kharadi to Pune airport at Lohegaon and a spur line to Kondhwa from Hadapsar.
