The Rajasthan Metro Rail Corporation (RMRC) recently submitted the Detailed Project Report (DPR) for this phase to the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs. Approval of the DPR is awaited, and following it, the tendering process will commence. Authorities anticipate that construction activities will start before the upcoming festive season, Diwali.
With an estimated project cost of INR 12,260 crore, financing is expected to be secured through a combination of government funds and loans from financial institutions. The infrastructure will include 36 stations, among which two will be underground, facilitating smoother transit in dense urban sectors.
The metro line's design aims to tackle Jaipur's escalating traffic challenges, providing a faster, more sustainable alternative to road transport. The project is planned to be executed in segments to minimise disruption to the city's daily activities and ensure systematic progress.
Completion of Phase 2 is projected within a five-year timeline, which will significantly improve accessibility and commute times for residents and workers across Jaipur. This development builds on the success of Phase 1, which has already contributed to easing traffic and promoting metro usage in the city.
By integrating key industrial and residential areas through an efficient metro network, Jaipur is poised to enhance quality of life and support its evolving urban demands. The collaboration between state and central governments further reinforces the strategic importance of this metro expansion as a critical asset for Jaipur's future growth.
