Modi has been closely involved in the development of Pune Metro, having participated in five key events, including inaugurations and foundation-laying ceremonies.
His engagement with the Pune Metro project began on December 24, 2016, when he laid the foundation stone for the metro route at the Agriculture College grounds.
