Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to visit Pune on September 26 and 27. During his visit, he is expected to inaugurate Pune Metro's District Court to Swargate stretch and lay the foundation stone for the Swargate to Katraj route extension.

There is also likely to be a public meeting in the city to kickstart the campaign for the Maharashtra Assembly polls for the ruling Mahayuti. Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, Deputy Chief Ministers Ajit Pawar, and Devendra Fadnavis are expected to attend this meeting.

PM Modi is also expected to attend the Viksit Bharat event at two educational institutes in the city.

During his two-day visit, the district administration has banned paragliding, hot air balloon safaris, drones, microlight airplanes, etc., due to security reasons.

The Civil Court to Swargate route includes three stations: Kasba Peth (formerly Budhwar Peth), Mandai, and Swargate. The distances between the stations are as follows: Civil Court to Kasba Peth (0.85 km), Kasba Peth to Mandai (1 km), and Mandai to Swargate (1.48 km).

The Centre, in August, approved the Swargate to Katraj underground extension of the existing Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) to Swargate metro line.
