PCMC Bhavan metro station

PCMC Bhavan is the elevated northern terminal metro station on the North-South corridor of the Purple Line of Pune Metro in Pimpri Chinchwad, India. The station was opened on 6 March 2022 as an inauguration of Pune Metro.[1] From March 2022 to July 2023, the Purple Line operated between PCMC Bhavan and Phugewadi,[2] but from 1 August 2023 the section between Phugewadi and Civil Court metro station came into use, so trains ran from PCMC Bhavan to Civil Court.[3] On 29 September 2024, the launch of Pune Metro Phase I was completed and the Purple Line was fully operational from PCMC to Swargate.[4] An extension has been planned which will move PCMC station's terminal status and extend the line to Nigdi.[5]
