The Pune–Nashik Semi-High-Speed Railway is a proposed intercity rail corridor aimed at enhancing regional connectivity and reducing travel time between the two major cities. The 235 km line was announced in 2020 with an estimated cost of around ₹16,000 crore. The project aims to support freight movement from MIDC regions, reduce highway congestion, and build an industrial growth corridor between Pune, Ahmednagar, and Nashik. Multiple clearances, including land acquisition approvals, were initiated between 2020 and 2022. However, the project has remained stalled since 2023 due to funding gaps, delays in central approvals, and a lack of progress on detailed land acquisition planning. The project remains listed under the Maharashtra Rail Infrastructure Development Corporation (MahaRail), with no recent activity or updated timelines.

This is a proposed corridor that has government backing and a completed DPR, but no construction work has begun. While the project has cost estimates and in-principle approval, key elements such as the final route, number of stations, land acquisition progress, and implementation timelines remain unresolved. No major updates have been recorded since 2023 from the implementing agency. Until there is firm movement such as land acquisition notifications, tender invitations, or financial sanction, the project remains classified as “Stalled.” For manageability within the platform, the project is currently listed under Nashik District, although it impacts multiple districts.
