A New Year resolve: Pune Metro may take off in a year’s time

An official of Maharashtra Metro Co., Ltd. (MAHA - Metro) said on Wednesday that the Pune Metro service could be operated within a certain period on a one - year corridor.

These stakeholders cited examples of Nagpur Metro service which was successfully tried within 27 months from the start of the project. Brijesh Dixit, CEO of MAHA - Metro, says:

Last week, Dixit said Pune Metro's work is progressing faster than Nagpur Metro's work.

Dixit repeated the statement that MAHA - Metro can finish his work so quickly because the high part of Corridor 1, which is about 6 km from Pimpri to Dapodi, is hardly facing obstacles such as land acquisition It was.

"At the same distance of Nagpur, we can start trial running in 27 months ... actual driving may start soon.The work of the Pune subway is fast thanks to the work of the Nagpool subway. I am planning to start the test run here in more than a year and I will actually run soon afterwards, "he said

On December 24, 2016 Pune Metro's work began when Prime Minister Narendra Modi ran bhoomi pujan for this project.

Ghulam Ali Bhaldar of Chulwad Pravasi Sangh said: "Why are they running Pune Metro from Pimpri to Dapodi ... why they can not operate from Nigdi, accepting announcements from subway stakeholders. Are they ... if they do, Akurdi's office workers from Pradhikaran-Nigdi, Kalbhornagar, Mohannagar, and Chinchwad have great benefits. "

He pointed out that the residents of Pimpri Camp and Pimprigaon can use local train services, so they need to have more passengers from the crowded Nigdi area rather than Pimpri.

The first corridor from Pimpri to Swargate covers a distance of approximately 16 kilometers. Some of them are 6 km from Pimpri to Dapodi. Dapodi is a straight line on the Pune-Mumbai Expressway. Metro officials said the commuters can reach Dapodi from Pimpri within 8 to 10 minutes.

According to the traffic situation of Phugewadi-Dapodi and Kasarwadi, the same route's PMPML bus can take up to 15 minutes or more. Most of the buses in this route were taken over and female passengers often complained that men were occupying the seat of the bus.

The PMPML bus can carry about 50 passengers, but the subway train runs at 10 minute intervals and can carry over 900 passengers. "The frequency of the subway train will be determined according to the requirements of the commuter," the subway staff said.

However, the Pimpri-Dapodi route is facing major obstacles at Nasik Pata Square. Triple overpass crosses roads, railways and rivers. Flyover forced MAHA Metro officials to realign their plans

"The elevated route from Pimpri along a straight line bypasses Nashik Phata ... It moves to the right, appears between the two bridges and returns to the Kasarwadi Highway again" Complex task " "We added that MAHA - Metro confidence is overcome obstacles," stated the sources.

Work on the Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Limited (Maha - Metro) Pune Metro Rail Project in Pune and Pimpri - Chinchwad area began on January 23, 2017. The authorities held a local visit for media representatives within one year after completion. The authorities also showed the progress of the proposed CME subway, foundry, subway help center and project construction
