PMC Bhavan is an elevated metro station on the East-West corridor of the Aqua Line of Pune Metro in Pune, India. The station was opened on 1 August 2023 as an extension of Pune Metro Phase I.[1] Aqua Line operates between Vanaz and Ruby Hall Clinic.[2][3]
The station is located in front of the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) building.[4] Its design is inspired by wadas (house with courtyards) found in peth areas of the city.[5] In September 2023, Maha-Metro has proposed to construct a footbridge which will directly connect the PMC building to the station for easy commute of the employees as well as visitors to the former.[6]
