Maha Metro Plans Six Coach Trains to Handle Hinjewadi Line Crowd Surge
Maha Metro is preparing for a massive surge in ridership by planning longer train rakes and higher frequency across its existing network. With the 23-km Chh. Shivajinagar-Hinjawadi Metro Line (Line 3) nearing its final stage, officials anticipate an additional 90,000 to one lakh commuters daily. To handle this influx, Maha Metro is conducting a study to transition from the current three-coach rakes to six-compartment rakes. Currently, trains operate every seven minutes during peak hours on the PCMC–Swargate and Vanaz–Ramwadi routes, but these intervals are expected to be shortened to ensure seamless connectivity once the new line integrates at the Civil Court interchange.
Physical and digital integration is also moving at a rapid pace. A new foot overbridge at the Civil Court station is slated for completion in two months, while an underpass and ticket counter at Shimla Office Chowk will facilitate easy transfers at Chh.Shivajinagar. Furthermore, a unified ticketing system is in development, featuring a common QR code and mobile app that will allow passengers to travel across all three Metro lines without purchasing separate tickets. These joint efforts between Maha Metro and PMRDA aim to transform the commuter experience by creating a truly interconnected transit hub in the heart of the city.
