Location

The station is located in front of the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) building.[3] Its design is inspired by wadas (house with courtyards) found in peth areas of the city.[4] In September 2023, Maha-Metro has proposed to construct a footbridge which will directly connect the PMC building to the station for easy commute of the employees as well as visitors to the former.[5]
