The government of Maharashtra has proposed to develop a Light Rail Transit (LRT) system in Pune.
The LRT system is intended to connect Hinjewadi IT Park and Talawade MIDC Technology Park to resolve traffic problems faced by professionals. The state government is not considering the metro rail on this line because of technical problems.
The project is at an initial stage and the state government is checking its feasibility.
The metro rail project in the city has recently received in-principle approval from the Ministry for Union Urban Development. Construction work on the Pune-metro rail project will soon be started by the Pune Mahanagar Metro Rail Corporation.
