For Pune, nearby stations such as Hadapsar, Khadki and Alandi have been identified for capacity enhancement to ensure balanced operations. Works include adding platforms, stabling and pit lines, creating new coaching terminals, upgrading signalling systems, and increasing sectional capacity through multi-tracking.

Key projects underway or planned include the extension of platforms and addition of six new platforms at Pune Junction, full-length platform extensions at Hadapsar, platform upgrades at Khadki, and the development of Alandi as a new coaching terminal with multiple platforms, pit lines and stabling facilities. Major projects such as the Uruli Mega Terminus and improved connectivity between Pune and Sasvad Road are also part of the roadmap.

Railway officials said capacity will be increased progressively, with immediate, short-term and long-term actions clearly defined, ensuring that passengers begin benefiting from the upgrades over the next five years, well ahead of the 2030 target.
