Pune–Nasik Road line is a proposed railway line between the cities of Pune and Nashik.[1] Once completed this will link to most important industrial cities of India and thus will complete Maharashtra's industrial triangle link by rail. This will also benefit growth of trade and commerce in both cities and also will help growth of ruler industries on the route. This link will also benefit some spiritual destinations like Bhimashankar Jyotirlinga, Ashatavinayak at Ojhar and Lenyadri and Pabal jain temple. The new industrial zone at Chakan, Rajgurunagar and Sinnar area will get a rail connectivity by this project.[2]

Route

The total length of this route is 265 km out of which 28 km between Pune Junction and Begdewadi is already existing and 32 km between Nasik Road and Sinnar (Gulwanch) is under land acquiring process. The Nasik road to Sinnar/Gulwanch section requires land from ten villages Eklahare, Hinganwedhe and Jakori in Nasik tehsil, Jogaltembi, Nayangaon, Dashwandi, Patpimri, Baragaon Pimpri and Gulwanch in Sinnar tehsil and Pimpalgaon-Nipani in Niphad tehsil.[3] The important stations on this route are Chakan, Rajgurunagar, Manchar, Narayangaon, Ale, Sangamner and Sinnar/Gulwanch.
