Nagpur Metro
Nagpur Metro, built and operated by Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation (Maha Metro), serves the geographic heart of India with a two-line network crossing the city. Its Phase 1 corridors are notable for engineering showpieces including a record-setting double-decker viaduct that carries the metro above a highway flyover.
A Phase 2 expansion extends the network further into Nagpur’s outer suburbs, building on an operational core that connects the city’s main transport nodes and the MIHAN economic zone.
Why it matters
Nagpur became a proving ground for cost-efficient, design-led metro construction – its double-decker viaducts and solar-powered stations were positioned as templates for other Tier-2 metros. For readers tracking how India controls per-km metro costs, Nagpur’s engineering choices and its integration with the MIHAN logistics hub are a meaningful reference.
