Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone for four new Metro corridors in Pune, which are part of Phase II of the expansion. These four proposed corridors include Vanaz to Chandni Chowk, Ramwadi to Vitthalwadi, Kharadi to Khadakwasla, and Nal Stop to Manik Baug. Additionally, Modi inaugurated Metro Line 3, a 23-km Pink Line connecting Hinjawadi's IT hub with Shivajinagar.
