IFE Elevator has achieved another milestone in the Indian market by securing the elevator and escalator project for the North Extension of Pune Metro Purple Line.
As part of the project, IFE Elevator provides a complete package of 42 public transportation-grade escalators and passenger elevators, delivering reliable vertical mobility solutions for efficient metro operations.
The North Extension of Pune Metro Purple Line is a major public infrastructure project in India.
With a total length of 4.519 kilometers, the elevated metro line covers four key stations and is designed to support future peak-hour one-way passenger capacity exceeding 22,000 passengers per hour. The line is expected to serve approximately 120,000 daily commuters, creating an essential transportation connection between northern industrial areas, residential communities, and the city center.
Through customized elevator solutions, IFE Elevator provides dedicated equipment configurations tailored to the operational conditions of the Pune Metro project.
With the ability to support high passenger volumes, continuous operation, and multiple application scenarios, IFE combines intelligent manufacturing capabilities with professional engineering services to support overseas urban infrastructure development.
To address the demanding operating conditions of Pune Metro, IFE Elevator developed a complete heavy-duty elevator and escalator solution specifically designed for rail transit applications.
The escalator systems cover a wide range of lifting heights from 6.3 meters to 13.49 meters.
Equipped with corrosion-resistant stainless steel steps, moisture-proof sealed control cabinets, and high-temperature-resistant heavy-duty drive components, the escalators are designed to operate reliably in South Asia’s hot, humid, and dusty environments.
For key passenger transfer areas, Duplex escalator configurations are applied to improve passenger distribution efficiency during peak commuting periods.
The passenger elevators integrate multiple intelligent and user-friendly functions, including emergency rescue features, fire linkage systems, and intelligent voice announcements.
The solutions fully comply with local accessibility requirements, ensuring convenient and inclusive transportation services for all passengers.
All systems are equipped with multi-layer safety protection structures and intelligent IoT-based monitoring systems, enabling centralized remote supervision, operation management, and maintenance support.
IFE Elevator provides comprehensive project support covering preliminary site assessment, customized manufacturing, on-site installation and commissioning, as well as long-term local maintenance services.
Through integrated project management capabilities, IFE reduces coordination complexity and provides stable, long-term transportation solutions for overseas metro projects.
Following the completion of the metro line, travel time will be significantly reduced by more than 40%, helping relieve road congestion and reduce vehicle emissions.
The project will also stimulate development along the route, supporting surrounding commercial areas, residential communities, and industrial parks while improving infrastructure connectivity in western Pune.
With stable metro services and affordable fares, the project reduces both travel time and commuting costs for local residents.
Escalators help passengers overcome vertical access challenges, while elevators provide accessible transportation solutions for wheelchair users, elderly passengers, and people with mobility limitations.
Multiple safety protection systems ensure stable operation throughout the day, while station connectivity services further support daily travel needs including employment, healthcare, and shopping.
From Mumbai, New Delhi to Pune, IFE has secured landmark metro projects across India’s three core transit hubs.
This Pune Purple Line Northern Extension project delivers integrated transit solutions engineered for weather resistance, corrosion protection, full accessibility and low energy consumption.
Striking an optimal balance between high passenger throughput and energy efficiency, IFE further strengthens its track record for robust vertical transport solutions tailored to South Asia’s high-temperature, humid and high-load operating environments.
Through sustained overseas expansion, IFE keeps amplifying the global competitiveness of Smart Manufacturing from China, delivering reliable vertical mobility systems for urban infrastructure worldwide.
