The Prime Minister is then scheduled to flag off metro trains and inaugurate various development projects at around 12:45 PM. The flagging-off of metro trains will mark the inauguration of services on completed sections of the two corridors of Pune Metro Phase I.

The foundation stone for this project was laid by PM Modi in 2016.
