Location

Shivajinagar is an underground metro station on the North-South corridor of the Purple Line and North-South corridor of the Pink Line of Pune Metro in Pune, India. The station was opened on 1 August 2023 as an extension of Pune Metro Phase I. ^[1] Since then, this line was operational between PCMC and Civil Court. On 29 September 2024, the launch of Pune Metro Phase I was completed and the Purple Line was fully operational from PCMC to Swargate. ^[2] This station will serve as an interchange for Line 3 of Pune Metro which will operate from Civil Court to Megapolis Circle. ^[3]

The station contains 5 lifts, 12 escalators and a tunnel ventilation system. Its exterior is inspired by a fort from the era of Shivaji Maharaj, whereas the interior features elements from the Peshwa era. Two subways have been proposed to connect the metro station with Shivajinagar railway station and University Road. ^{[4] [5]} The work on Line 3 from Shivajinagar to Hinjawadi is being executed under a public–private partnership model with Tata Group and Siemens. ^[6] It is expected to be fully operational from April 2025. ^[7]
