With the projected increase in the city’s population, strengthening and augmenting the existing transport infrastructure has assumed urgency. As India is one of the fastest developing country in the world. The metro rail network plays an important role in the cities transport system so it is now need of future to have an efficient and well effective metro rail network in the city. Public transport system is an efficient user of space and with a reduced level of air and noise pollution. Evaluation of modern transportation framework of metro rail facility proposed in pune city is the primary aim of this study. The objective of this study paper is to study the two lines of metro rail project and feasibility study of new proposed line. Key Words: Feasibility study, Metro, Technical details, station connectivity, NLRI (Network length related indicators), SNRI (Station number related indicators). 1. INTRODUCTION Pune city is known in the world map because of its educational, research etc. Also The District has an importance as an important military base and most industrialised district in western Maharashtra and a famous IT Hub in The Country. It is also known as Queen of Deccan. In India there are currently 13 operational rapid transit systems in 18 cities. As March 2019, India has 638.91 km’s of operational Metro Lines and 496 stations.
