On record
Mahametro claimed the Pimpri-Dapodi route was "100% complete," but junction work at Dapodi, Morwadi, Sant Tukaramnagar and Kasarwadi stations remained unfinished, with the metro operating only up to Phugewadi; the Nigdi extension was further delayed pending Union Defence Ministry clearance over its alignment near the Dehu Road Ammunition Factory.
The official record states: "Delays were attributed to COVID-19 work stoppages and incomplete architectural, technical and lift works at multiple junctions, even as Mahametro publicly claimed the route was fully complete."
“Declared 100% complete by everyone except the stations, the junctions and the timetable.”— Blunderlust Editorial Desk

“Mahametro announced the route was a hundred percent complete. The train still turns around at Phugewadi.”
“Eighteen hundred crore of delay, and the lifts at Sant Tukaramnagar are still a work in progress.”
“The Nigdi extension is waiting on the Defence Ministry, which has been thinking about it for longer than the corridor took to build.”
