Pune Metro Line 3's opening has been postponed yet again due to the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) requirements for the Maharashtra Legislative Council elections. The 12-station route between Hinjawadi and Shivajinagar had already missed several launch deadlines before this latest setback. The MCC came into force immediately when the election process commenced on September 22.
Once the election restrictions are lifted, the inauguration of Metro Line 3 is likely to be scheduled following that. The Election Commission of India has scheduled the polls for October 23, with counting on October 27, and the entire election process is supposed to wrap up by October 31.
