Jaipur (Metro Rail News): In November 2024, the Jaipur Metro Rail Corporation appointed the Rail India Technical and Economic Service (RITES) to develop the detailed project report for the Jaipur Metro Phase 2 at Rs. 4.6 crore. As per the official of JMRC, RITES has submitted the draft of the DPR. However, the CM of Rajasthan, Shri Bhajan Lal Sharma and his team have suggested some changes regarding the route and station locations.
Once the revised Detailed Project Report (DPR) is finalised, it will be forwarded to the Union Government for approval. The next step will involve signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to initiate the construction phase. Only after the MoU is in place will tenders be floated for construction work. Officials estimate that this entire process could take around three to four months to complete.
Provisions in the Draft DPR of Jaipur Metro Phase 2
The Jaipur Metro Phase 2 will cover a total of 40km route and feature 35 stations.. This corridor will start from Sitapura and conclude at Sikar Road. The entire project is expected to cost about Rs. 10,000 crore. Out of 35 stations, 1 station will be underground while 34 stations will be elevated. After completion, the project is expected to cater to about 2.5 million commuters.
