Yerwada metro station is the elevated eastern terminal metro station on the East - West corridor of the Aqua Line of Pune Metro in Pune, India. It is connected to Rainbow Bus Rapid Transit System.[1] Aqua Line operates between Vanaz and Ramwadi stations.[2] The facade of the station showcases an illustration of Dandi March and a charkha, both of which are inspired by and a tribute to Mahatma Gandhi.[3]

The three metro stations on the extended stretch of the Aqua Line were inaugurated on 6 March 2024. However, the work on revised entry-exit points of Yerwada station delayed its initial commercial operation for more than a month.[4] [5] Later, it was expected to open in May 2024 as the work was supposed to complete by the end of April 2024.[6] Due to ongoing work and pending inspection, the opening was further delayed to July 2024.[7] The inspection by CMRS was slated to be completed by 20 July 2024 and then opened to public by the end of July 2024.[8] Eventually, it was inaugurated for commercial operation on 21 August 2024.[9]
