On November 26, 2023, the Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, approved Pune Metro Rail Project Phase-2, including Line 4 (Kharadi–Hadapsar–Swargate-Khadakwasla) and Line 4A (Nal Stop–Warje–Manik Baug). This project, the second major approval under Phase-2, follows the sanction of Line 2A (Vanaz-Chandani Chowk) and Line 2B (Ramwadi-Wagholi/Vitthalwadi).
Spanning 31.636 km with 28 elevated stations, Lines 4 and 4A will connect IT hubs, commercial zones, educational institutions, and residential clusters across East, South, and West Pune. The project is estimated to cost Rs. 9,857.85 crore and is slated for completion within five years, jointly funded by the Government of India, Government of Maharashtra, and external bilateral/multilateral funding agencies.
The lines will integrate with operational and sanctioned corridors at Kharadi Bypass & Nal Stop (Line 2) and Swargate (Line 1), and will provide an interchange at Hadapsar Railway Station, connecting with future corridors towards Loni Kalbhor and Saswad Road.
The daily ridership on Lines 4 and 4A combined is projected to be 4.09 lakh in 2028, nearly 7 lakh in 2038, 9.63 lakh in 2048, and over 11.7 lakh in 2058. Specifically, the Kharadi-Khadakwasla corridor is expected to serve 3.23 lakh passengers in 2028, growing to 9.33 lakh by 2058, while the Nal Stop-Warje-Manik Baug line will see ridership rise from 85,555 to 2.41 lakh over the same period.
Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Limited (Maha-Metro) will implement the project, undertaking all civil, electrical, mechanical, and systems works. Pre-construction activities, including topographical surveys and detailed design consultancy, are already underway.

Pune is set for another major boost in its public transport network as the Union Cabinet chaired by the
Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, today has approved Line 4 (Kharadi–Hadapsar–Swargate–
Khadakwasla) and Line 4A (Nal Stop–Warje–Manik Baug) under Phase-2 of the Pune Metro Rail
Project. This is the second major project approved under Phase-2, following the sanction of Line 2A
(Vanaz–Chandani Chowk) and Line 2B (Ramwadi–Wagholi/Vitthalwadi).
Together spanning 31.636 km with 28 elevated stations, Line 4 and 4A will connect IT hubs,
commercial zones, educational institutions, and residential clusters across East, South, and West Pune.
The project will be completed within five years at an estimated cost of Rs.Rs.9,857.85 crore, to be
jointly funded by the Government of India, Government of Maharashtra, and external
bilateral/multilateral funding agencies.
These lines are a vital part of Pune’s Comprehensive Mobility Plan (CMP) and will seamlessly
integrate with operational and sanctioned corridors at Kharadi Bypass & Nal Stop (Line 2), and
Swargate(Line 1). They will also provide an interchange at Hadapsar Railway Station and connect
with future corridors towards Loni Kalbhor and Saswad Road, ensuring smooth multimodal
connectivity across metro, rail, and bus networks.
From Kharadi IT Park to Khadakwasla’s scenic tourist belt, and from Hadapsar’s industrial hub to
Warje’s residential clusters, Line 4 and 4A will knit together diverse neighbourhoods. Traversing
Solapur Road, Magarpatta Road, Sinhagad Road, Karve Road, and the Mumbai–Bengaluru Highway,
the project will ease congestion on Pune’s busiest routes while improving safety and promoting green,
sustainable mobility.
According to projections, the daily ridership on Line 4 and 4A combined is expected to be 4.09 lakh
in 2028, rising to nearly 7 lakh in 2038, 9.63 lakh in 2048, and over 11.7 lakh in 2058. Of this, the
Kharadi–Khadakwasla corridor will account for 3.23 lakh passengers in 2028, growing to 9.33 lakh
by 2058, while the Nal Stop–Warje–Manik Baug spur line will rise from 85,555 to 2.41 lakh
passengers over the same period. These projections highlight the significant growth in ridership
expected on Line 4 and 4A over the coming decades.
The project will be implemented by Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Limited (Maha-Metro),
which will carry out all civil, electrical, mechanical, and systems works. Pre-construction activities
such as topographical surveys and detailed design consultancy are already underway.With this latest approval, Pune Metro’s network will expand beyond the 100 km milestone, a
significant step in the city’s journey towards a modern, integrated, and sustainable urban transit
system.
With Line 4 and 4A, Pune will not just get more metro tracks, it will gain a faster, greener, and more
connected future. These corridors are designed to give back hours of commuting time, reduce traffic
chaos, and provide citizens with a safe, reliable, and affordable alternative. In the years ahead, they
will emerge as the true lifelines of Pune, reshaping urban mobility and redefining the city’s growth
story.
