The Pune Metropolitan Regional Development Authority (PMRDA) said the official date of commencement of the work on Hinjewadi-Shivajinagar Metro corridor will be announced by this week.
PMRDA officials said the land acquisition process was nearly complete for the corridor and that the Pune Municipal Corporation has given an in-principle approval to the University flyover plan, clearing the decks for the project’s concessionaire — Tata-Siemens — to begin the project.
“The project will have to be completed in three years and four months from the commencement date,” a PMRDA official said.
