The station contains 5 lifts, 12 escalators and a tunnel ventilation system. Its exterior is inspired by a fort from the era of Shivaji Maharaj, whereas the interior features elements from the Peshwa era. Two subways have been proposed to connect the metro station with Shivajinagar railway station and University Road.[3][4] The work on Line 3 from Shivajinagar to Hinjewadi is being executed under a public–private partnership model with Tata Group and Siemens.[5] It is expected to be fully operational from April 2025.[6]
