Nagpur Broad Gauge Metro

Nagpur Broad Gauge Metro is an operational broad-gauge line in Nagpur run by Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation (Maha Metro), covering 78.8 km across 13 stations on the Indian Railways network. Its route map, stations and latest updates are below.

The Nagpur Broad Gauge Metro is a regional rapid-transit service built by Maharashtra Metro (Maha Metro) that repurposes Central Railway’s existing broad-gauge tracks to run modern, comfortable trains between Nagpur and its surrounding towns, Wardha, Katol, Narkhed, Ramtek and Bhandara. Rather than laying new metro track, it overlays a suburban-rail service on mainline infrastructure, with a planned regional network of around 268 km across four lines, of which about 78.8 km is currently operational.

These operational sections integrate with the city’s conventional Nagpur Metro, giving the region a low-cost regional transit layer.

Why it matters

The Broad Gauge Metro is India’s clearest example of building regional transit by upgrading existing railway tracks instead of constructing new corridors, a potentially far cheaper model for connecting a city to its hinterland. Its integration with Nagpur’s standard-gauge metro also makes it a live experiment in blending two rail systems into one passenger network.
