Anisotropic cosmological models are investigated in f(R) gravity in the metric formalism. Plane symmetric models with anisotropy in the expansion rates are considered. The anisotropy in expansion rates are assumed to be maintained throughout the cosmic evolution. Two accelerating models are constructed by assuming different functional forms for f(R). The viability of these models is tested through a stability analysis.
