Metro network is expanding rapidly in Jaipur. Under Phase II, a 41-kilometer corridor is being planned that will cover the North–South of Jaipur. This corridor is planned from Prahladpura in Sanganer tehsil to Todi Mod Sikar road. The Chief Minister of Rajasthan Bhajanlal Sharma, described this project as the city’s future lifeline, which will effortlessly connect industrial areas and residential areas, including Sitapura to Vishwakarma Industrial Area. “This connectivity will offer safer public transport,” said Sharma.

36 Stations Planned Along Corridor

The project executed by the Rajasthan Metro Rail Corporation Limited (RMRCL) in collaboration with the central government has an estimated cost of Rs 130.37 billion, and will include 36 stations. Major locations the corridor will cover include Sitapura Industrial Area, VKIA, Jaipur Airport, Tonk Road, SMS Hospital, Ambabari and Vidhyadhar Nagar. To keep the airport infrastructure intact, underground stations are planned near the airport. The current phase I covers 11.64 kilometres, starting from Mansarovar to Badi Chaupar, with 11 stations. It is expected that the Phase II expansion will enhance connectivity and control traffic congestion.

Rajasthan’s Chief Minister said the refinery project would drive industrial growth, generate 25,000 direct and indirect jobs, and contribute to economic development. “The refinery approval is historic and crucial for the state’s growth trajectory,” Sharma noted.
