Tell that pune metro has received Train at tu karan. It’s design is very different from titagarh design. Titagarh will supply trains to both lines. What is this confusion. Already train of other design reached and titagarh is building it’s new design trains for both 2 lines???
The two trains at Tukaram belong to Nagpur Metro. They were brought for initial testing and will be sent back when the Titagarh trains arrive.
