Railways in Pune

Being the second largest city of Maharashtra, Pune is well connected to almost all major Indian cities through railways. There are regular trains to and from different parts of the country that touches the city.

There are three railways stations in Pune, all of which are owned and managed by the Indian Railways.

Pune Railway Station or Pune Junction

This is the largest railway station in Pune and is located in the central area of the city. Its operations commenced in 1856 with the first train running between Mumbai and Pune. At present, there are more than 125 trains passing from Pune Junction.

Under the high speed rail project of Indian Railways, a bullet train is proposed to be introduced between Pune and Ahmedabad, with Mumbai as one of the stopover destinations.

Consequently, it does not have sufficient capacity and resources to meet the existing demand of passenger traffic and freight load. A plan to modernize Pune Junction and provide world class amenities to the rail passengers has been under consideration for some time.

The station code of Pune Junction is PUNE.
