Pune Metro Line 3 Clears Key Trial Run Between Hinjewadi and Shivajinagar

12 Jan 2026

Pune Metro Line 3, connecting the Hinjewadi IT hub with Shivajinagar, has crossed an important milestone after a successful technical trial run conducted between Maan Depot and University Chowk on January 8. The elevated metro corridor is expected to significantly ease daily travel for IT professionals who currently face heavy congestion on Ganeshkhind Road and nearby routes. Officials said the trial confirmed that the system can offer a faster and more reliable commuting option while reducing pressure on Pune’s overburdened road network.

During the trial, engineers evaluated key safety and performance parameters such as track alignment, power systems, braking response, coach stability and train behaviour on curves. Authorities confirmed that vibration levels and movement at higher speeds remained within approved safety limits. With track work largely completed across the 23.3 km corridor, focus has now shifted to station readiness and passenger facilities. Passenger services are currently targeted to begin by March 31, 2026, subject to final safety clearances
