Good news for Pune’s daily commuters: the Khadki Metro station is officially open as of today. If you travel between Pimpri Chinchwad and Swargate, this new stop could make your life a lot easier.
Here’s what’s important about the Khadki station:
It’s right next to the Khadki railway station, so switching between local trains and the metro is now much simpler. This is especially handy for anyone traveling on the Lonavala–Pune route or needing to connect to other parts of the city.
The station fills a gap between Shivajinagar and Bopodi, making it more convenient for people living or working in areas like Khadki Bazar, Aundh, and Range Hill Corner. If you’re near the university, IT Park, or any of the big government institutions in Khadki, you’ll likely save time on your daily commute.
With Khadki now open, 13 out of 14 stations on this metro corridor are operational, which means the network is almost complete. This should help ease traffic and make public transport a more appealing option.
Metro officials expect the new station to cut down on road congestion and improve travel times for thousands of people.
Overall, the opening of Khadki Metro station is a big step for Pune’s public transport. If you haven’t tried the metro yet, this might be the perfect time to check it out.
