First phase

The three routes that have been identified for the first phase are:

1. Pimpri – Chinchwad – Swargate, via Agriculture college (16.5 km, elevated)
2. Aundh – Kalyaninagar, via Shivajinagar and the Pune railway station (14 km, elevated)
3. Agriculture College – Swargate, via JM road and Mahatre bridge (9 km, underground)

Second phase

Second phase of the project will contain the extension of first phase:

1. Extension of lines from Chinchwad to Nigdi and Swargate to Katraj (11.5 km elevated)
2. Extension of lines from Aundh to Hinjewadi and Kalyaninagar to Kharadi Naka (13 km elevated)
3. Extension of line from Swargate to Hadapsar (9 km elevated)

Third phase

Third phase will complete the project at once and it will contain only one line:

1. Agriculture college – Warje via JM road and Karve road (9 km elevated)

Technical side

The proposed routes are to be built mostly on elevated rails, with underground routes and extensions to follow in future phases.

The proposed fare structure in 2013-14 is to be a minimum of Rs 8 for distances less than 2 km, and a maximum of Rs 23 for distances above 27km.
