History

The Central Railway (CR) introduced electric multiple units (EMU) on the existing 63 km railway line between Pune Junction and Lonavala on 11 March 1978. The line had previously been serviced by regular trains. The EMU service reduced end-to-end travel time on the line from 2.5 hours to 1.5 hours.[1]

Nine-car trains were operated on the Pune Suburban Railway until March 2009, when they were replaced by 12-car services. CR also operates 13-car trains.[3]

    (Demand survey accepted in Budget 2011-12)
  4. To increase two terminals on
    Daund
    sections.
  5. To start suburban service on
    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]

  1. Extension of existing platforms to accommodate 24 bogie trains.
  2. A new terminal for EMU to accommodate 15 bogie trains.
  3. Three foot over-bridge to connect new terminal to other platforms.
