Proposed plans

According to the 2010-11 Budget, rail proposals were as follows:

  • To build separate platforms for Pune–Lonavala/Talegaon services and increase the frequency to 30 min during peak hours and 45 min other time.[5]
  • Introduction of shuttle service on Pune–Saswad Road–Jejuri/Satara Sector. This will operate every 3 hours with 2/3 wagons for goods.
  • Third track for Pune–Lonavala section.[6] (Demand survey accepted in Budget 2011 - 12)
  • To increase two terminals on Pune–Lonavala and Pune–Daund sections.
  • To start suburban service on Pune–Rajgurunagar station (Proposed) patch after completion of Pune– Nasik Road, railway for connectivity with New Pune International Airport.

A new EMU terminal is proposed to be built on west of the existing station. It will have two lines and three platforms. This proposal includes:[7]

  • Extension of existing platforms to accommodate 24 bogie trains.
  • A new terminal for EMU to accommodate 15 bogie trains.
  • Three foot over-bridge to connect new terminal to other platforms.
  • Expansion of Hadapsar for new trains to origin and terminate at the station.
