India, Aug. 14 -- In a bid to increase commuter convenience, the Pune Metro will run trains every six minutes during peak hours from 9 am to 11 am and from 4 pm to 8 pm beginning this Independence Day on August 15, 2025. Whereas the non-peak interval of 10 minutes will remain unchanged. Currently, metro trains are run every seven minutes during peak hours from 9 am to 11 am and from 4 pm to 8 pm.

Shravan Hardikar, managing director, Maha-Metro, said, "The consistent growth in passenger numbers reflects Pune Metro's increasing popularity. To meet this demand, we are adding more daily trips and introducing a train every six minutes during peak hours. This will significantly reduce waiting times and improve commuter comfort."
