"All formalities regarding the Pune Metro Rail project have been completed and after nod from the Public Investment Board (PIB) in June, the proposal will be sent back to the state government," Fadnavis said.
"After the state government's nod, tenders will be floated and work on Pune Metro will be expedited," he added.
Fadnavis said this at a press conference after holding meetings with Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) and Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) over various developmental issues.
"Union Minister for Urban Development Venkaiah Naidu has personally monitored the entire project and he is making sure that it gets approved. That is why, a meeting of PIB has been summoned to finalise the project," Fadnavis said.
