Metro connectivity to Pune’s Lohegaon airport is set to become a reality, with plans now progressing to extend the network via Kalyaninagar station. Pune MP Murlidhar Mohol announced the development during a review meeting on ongoing and upcoming Metro projects, stating that work on the proposed route has already begun. Officials confirmed that the Kalyaninagar–Lohegaon alignment has emerged as the most feasible option after evaluating multiple alternatives, and a detailed project report (DPR) is currently under preparation. Space near the airport has also been identified for the Metro infrastructure.
Once operational, the airport Metro link will remove the need for passengers to rely on feeder buses or autorickshaws from Yerawada or Ramwadi stations, significantly improving last-mile connectivity for flyers. The review meeting also assessed progress on the 23-km Hinjewadi–Shivajinagar Metro corridor, where 94% of work has been completed and 13 stations are expected to be ready by the end of April. Mohol further directed officials to begin DPR preparation for the proposed Khadakwasla–Hinjewadi route, while confirming that work on the Ramwadi–Wagholi stretch and the Vanaz–Chandni Chowk extension will commence soon, with an emphasis on starting services before the monsoon
