Connectivity boost

- Siddharth Gadkari

PUNE: In a move to improve passenger convenience and strengthen the city's public transport system, Pune Metro has decided to add 15 new trains—totalling 45 coaches—to the current fleet in the coming months.

These additional trains are being procured to support the two newly approved metro corridors. Each train will consist of three coaches.

Currently, Pune Metro operates 34 trains with a total of 102 coaches, carrying over 1.7 lakh passengers daily. With the new addition, the fleet size will increase to 49 trains and 147 coaches.

The expansion aims to reduce crowding and shorten travel time for commuters. The new trains will be rolled out once the ongoing work on the new corridors is completed, enhancing metro connectivity across the city.

"With the Centre's approval for two new lines, the need for more trains has become essential," said Atul Gadgil, director (works), Pune Metro.
