Ajit Pawar Announces 75 km Railway Expansion To Ease Pune Traffic, Boost Industrial Connectivity
Pune, July 26, 2025: Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar has announced a major railway infrastructure plan aimed at reducing traffic congestion and boosting regional connectivity in and around Pune. As per the proposed project, a new 75-km railway line will be developed covering multiple key locations.
The route will extend from Talegaon to Chakan, then to Wagholi, Uruli, and finally connect to the Solapur-Pune Road. A separate link will connect Miraj Road to the existing Miraj railway line. Land acquisition instructions have already been issued to the Collector’s office for expedited execution.
Two new stations—New Talegaon Station and Uruli Station—will be established under the plan. In addition, another railway corridor from Wagholi to Ahilyanagar has been proposed.
This route will pass through Vadhu Budruk, Shikrapur, Koregaon Bhima, Ranjangaon, Pimpalner, and Tupewadi, with a total of eight stations. The corridor aims to serve major industrial areas including Ranjangaon MIDC, Chas, and parts of Ahmednagar district.
“These new railway lines will not only ease traffic congestion but also support faster connectivity for industrial hubs,” Pawar stated. The project is expected to enhance commuter convenience while supporting economic activity in the region.
