This was fast work by Pune Metro after approval received last week
Timing is standard 🙂 Extension was approved in October 2023 and DDC was appointed in December 2023.
I believe you’re referring to Swargate – Katraj extension which was approved last week: https://themetrorailguy.com/2024/08/17/pune-metros-swargate-katraj-extension-approved-by-central-government/
That extension’s DDC (PINI India) was appointed in March 2024:

The launch of its tender depends on when designs are finalized and financing (external loan) is secured.
