According to a statement from the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Jaipur Metro Phase II is planned as a 42.8 km north–south corridor connecting Prahladpura with Todi Mod. The corridor will have 36 stations, of which 34 will be elevated and two underground, passing through key locations such as Haldighati Gate, Sitapura Industrial Area, SMS Hospital, Ambabari and Vidhyadhar Nagar.
The proposed alignment largely follows Tonk Road and passes through the Sitapura industrial belt, with the objective of improving connectivity to some of Jaipur’s fastest-growing residential and employment hubs.
Network integration forms a key part of the plan, with a direct interchange proposed at Chandpole station on the existing east–west metro line. In addition, a foot-over-bridge connection at Jaipur Junction Metro station is planned to enable seamless transfers for commuters.
