After its completion, the DPR will be filed with the authorities for approval.
Maha-Metro managing director Brijesh Dixit was quoted by Hindustan Times as saying: “Maha-Metro had appointed agencies to conduct the DRP on 82.5km stretch. Officials would visit housing societies, commercial complexes and various small and big business houses to understand and listen to the expectations of Punekars from the public transport body.”
Maha Metro is a joint venture between the central and Maharashtra government tasked to implement the Pune Metro project.
A few sections of Pune Metro’s Phase I are expected to commence passenger services soon.
In May last year, the European Investment Bank signed a $182m (€150m) finance pact with the Indian Government for the Pune Metro Rail project’s second section in Maharashtra.
