Chhatrapati Sambhaji Udyan is an elevated metro station on the East-West corridor of the Aqua Line of Pune Metro in Pune, India. The station was opened on 1 August 2023 as an extension of Pune Metro Phase I.[1] Aqua Line operates between Vanaz and Ruby Hall Clinic.[2][3]

Located on the banks of Mutha River, the station is 26m high, 28m wide and 140m long. Its design is inspired by the Mavala Pagadi (turban) popularised by Shivaji Maharaj.[4] A skywalk near Bal Gandharva Ranga Mandir on J. M. Road has been built to reach the station.[5] In order to improve connectivity for passengers living in peth areas of the city, a cable-supported skywalk in the shape of tanpura is being constructed from the riverside road to the station.[6]
