23.3 km Pune Metro Line-3 will connect Hinjewadi with Shivajinagar’s Civil Court through 23 elevated stations by a Special Purpose Vehicle named Pune IT City Metro Rail Limited.

Nicknamed Puneri Metro, this line was approved by Mahrashtra’s state government on February 9 2018 for implementation on the public-private partnership (PPP) model on design, build, finance, operate and transfer (DBFOT) basis with a budget of Rs 8,100 crore.

The Government of India on March 7, 2018 granted in-principle approval for providing 20% Viability Gap Funding (VGF). Contribution of Maharashtra State Government’s VGF amount was approved on August 27, 2019 in the form of land transfer from various state agencies (eg. Dairy Development, Pune Police).

The consortium went on to establish a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) company called Pune IT City Metro Rail Limited on March 14, 2019 to execute the line.

In September 2019, PMRDA a signed a 35-year concession agreement with Pune IT City Metro Rail Limited to develop the line with a deadline of March 2023.

Pune Metro’s Line-3 is expected to be completed in 2026, much later than its March 2023 deadline.
