Pune Metro Line 4: the six stations that change Sinhagad Road

Sinhagad Road is about to get a metro line, and unlike most infrastructure a Pune sales team will tell you about, this one has actually been sanctioned.

The Union Cabinet approved Phase 2 of the Pune Metro Rail Project in November 2025. Line 4 runs Kharadi to Khadakwasla, 25.52 km on 22 elevated stations. Line 4A spurs off it, Nal Stop to Warje to Manik Baug, another 6.12 km and six stations. Together that is 31.64 km and 28 stations, at ₹9,857.85 crore, with a five-year build.

The part that matters here

Line 4 runs along Solapur Road, Magarpatta Road, Sinhagad Road, Karve Road and the Mumbai to Bengaluru highway. On this corridor the named stations are Dandekar Pul, Rajaram Bridge, Manik Baug, Dhayari Phata, Nanded City and Khadakwasla.

Six stations on one road. That is not a line passing nearby. That is the corridor being threaded end to end.

Swargate is the join

Sinhagad Road’s city end lands at Swargate, which is already the terminus of the running Line 1 and already Pune’s biggest bus interchange.

That is what turns six local stations into a network. From Swargate, Line 1 takes you north through the centre. Line 4 itself continues east through Hadapsar and Magarpatta to Kharadi, where it meets Line 2. A Sinhagad Road resident working in an eastern IT park would, on completion, have a rail option for the whole journey.

Sanctioned is not running

This is the part a sales conversation will skip. Cabinet approval means the money and the alignment are agreed. It does not mean tenders are awarded, piers are cast or trains are moving.

The five-year timeline in the approval runs from sanction. Pune Metro Phase 1 is a fair guide to how these things actually go, and the honest expectation for a line approved in late 2025 is trains somewhere towards the end of the decade, with slippage more likely than early delivery.

There is one genuinely encouraging sign, though. Foundations for the metro pillars at Manik Baug and Hingane Khurd were already built into the Sinhagad Road flyover works, at a cost of about ₹27 crore. That is the alignment being physically committed to on the ground, which is further along than a line on a map. More on that in the piece on the flyover.

What it is worth to a buyer today

• As a reason to like the corridor, a lot. Sanctioned rail changes what a road is for over a fifteen-year horizon, and most people buying here are on that horizon.
• As a reason to accept a higher price today, very little. You would be paying now for a benefit that arrives later, and the seller is not carrying the delay risk.
• As a reason to prefer one plot over another, only once you know where the plot is. Walking distance to a station and a fifteen-minute drive to one are different properties.

That last point applies directly here. No address has been published for Skydove, so nobody can honestly tell you which of the six stations is yours. That is why this site publishes no distance table.

How to check it yourself

Pune Metro Rail publishes the line details, the alignment and the station list on its own site. The cabinet approval is on the Press Information Bureau. Both are linked below.

If somebody tells you a completion year for this line, ask them where the figure came from. The approval says five years. Everything more precise than that is somebody’s opinion.
