Overview

• A train ran from Maan depot to Balewadi Stadium on August 27 during Ganesh Chaturthi, marking the line’s latest system trial.
• The run was the first outside the Hinjawadi area, following earlier tests confined to that zone, including a July 4 trial between Maan depot and the Wipro station.
• An anonymous PMRDA official said the test operated at 40 km/h and reported overall project completion at roughly 87%.
• Pune Metro Line 3 spans 23.3 km with 23 fully elevated stations and uses 3‑coach, air‑conditioned trains designed for about 1,000 passengers and up to 80 km/h.
• The project is being delivered via a PMRDA–PITCMRL public‑private partnership led by a Tata–Siemens consortium, with trials conducted under supervision of officials and technicians.
