Metro Line 3 Saves Hinjawadi IT Employees 1 to 1.3 Hours a Day

The new Pune Metro Line 3 has brought good news for thousands of IT employees in Hinjawadi. The line opened to passengers on 4 November 2026, and commuters sharing their first rides in videos online say they now save 1 to 1.3 hours a day, about 30 to 40 minutes each way.

Why it is faster

• Until now, the trip from Shivajinagar or Aundh to Hinjawadi meant long traffic jams on University Road, Aundh and Wakad, especially at office hours.
• The 23.2 km elevated line runs above the traffic, from Maan (Hinjawadi) to District Court (Shivajinagar).
• Trains run every 6 minutes at peak times.

More time for life

Saving more than an hour a day adds up to over 20 hours a month. Commuters say they reach office fresher and get home in time for family and evening plans. Less driving also means less fuel cost and less stress.

Good to know

• First train at 6 am from Maan. Last train at 10:30 pm from Maan and 11:40 pm from District Court.
• Fares from ₹12 to ₹62.
• 17 stations are open now. The other 6 will open by January 2027.
• At District Court, you can change to Line 1 and Line 2.
