Kharadi–Swargate Khadakwasla and Nal Stop–Warje Metro Lines Get Final Go-Ahead

18 Feb 2026

 

The Maharashtra government on Tuesday granted revised administrative approval for two new Metro corridors  Kharadi–Swargate–Khadakwasla Metro Line and Nal Stop Warje Metro Line  in line with earlier clearances from the Union government. Together, the two elevated corridors will span 31.6 km and include 28 stations. The total project cost has been pegged at ₹9,857.85 crore, with the Union and state governments contributing ₹1,212 crore each. A Government Resolution (GR) issued by the state also authorises a tripartite Memorandum of Understanding with Maha Metro, the state government and the Centre.

The Union government had approved both routes in November 2025, after which the proposal was sent back to the state for revised approval. As per the GR, Maha Metro will execute both corridors and arrange funding for the ₹4,694 crore loan component from external agencies. The lines are expected to significantly improve connectivity across key high-traffic areas such as Sinhagad Road, Nagar Road, Solapur Road and parts of Hadapsar. Maha Metro officials said preliminary work has already begun, with finalisation of station locations, access ramps and alignment details currently underway. The tendering process for execution agencies is expected to start in the coming months, while commuters have urged authorities to complete the project within a five-year timeline.
