The Pune Municipal Corporation's (PMC) proposal to build a metro rail is
likely to get a go-ahead from the Maharashtra Government. As per sources, the
state government officials have opposed the stay order demanded by Ujwal Keskar,
corporator.
The PMC plans to build a metro railway on the proposed route from Vanaz to
Ramwadi (14.925 km) at the cost of Rs 2,281 crore. The PMC plans to contribute
10 per cent of the cost, avail 40 per cent from the state and Union Government
and garner the rest from private companies.
DMRC, the consultant for the project, has recommended that its model for a
metro railway be incorporated jointly in Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad.
