The Details
Pune’s critical IT transit corridor is moving into its final testing phases. As of October 9, 2026, daily trial runs are officially underway on Pune Metro Line 3, the elevated route connecting the Hinjawadi IT park to Shivajinagar.
Authorities confirmed that 17 stations along the route are structurally ready, and roughly 20 modern coaches have been deployed for testing. During these daily trials, technical teams are meticulously checking arrival and departure timings at each station, dwell times, and the total duration required to complete the journey.
Any deviations from the planned running schedule will trigger further technical adjustments. While the official launch date and final timetable for passenger services have not yet been announced, the initiation of daily, intensive trials indicates that the first phase of operations is imminent.
Why It Matters for Pune Camp
The promoter of BharatOne Spaces brings a rich experience of 30 years in various fields of business, pointing out that finalizing the IT metro corridor is the key to unclogging central Pune. The Hinjawadi-Shivajinagar Line 3 serves as the primary infrastructural bridge between the western tech hubs and the historic center.
Moving into the daily trial phase guarantees that thousands of IT professionals will soon have a direct, rail-based commute. This will drastically cut the volume of surface traffic feeding into the arterial roads around the Cantonment. For corporate tenants operating out of Deccan Tower, Pulgate Chowk, Camp, Pune, this imminent launch ensures a permanent reduction in daily gridlock, improving accessibility for clients and employees entering the Camp area.
