Gehlot reveals Jaipur Metro corridor expansion blueprint

21 Aug 2023 CW Team

Gehlot mentioned that the construction of the 2.85 km track from Badi Chaupar to Transport Nagar would necessitate a budget of Rs 9.8 billion. Similarly, the establishment of a 1.33 km track from Mansarovar to Ajmer Road would involve an expenditure of Rs 2.04 billion. He informed that the tender process had been completed, and the ceremony for laying the foundation stone was scheduled for September.

With the goal of establishing connectivity between two important highways, Ajmer and Agra Road, through the metro rail network, the state government would undertake expansion work on both ends, resulting in the creation of a 4.85 km stretch. Upon completion, the length of the existing east-west corridor, which currently spans 12 km from Mansarovar to Badi Chaupar, would increase to around 17 km.

Gehlot also acknowledged the existence of a comprehensive project report (DPR) for Jaipur Metro Phase-II, which envisions a 23.5 km corridor connecting India Gate and Ambabari on Tonk Road. However, he refrained from specifying a launch date for this project.

The government should also give proper consideration to the long-pending Metro project on Tonk Road, a corridor that runs from South to North and effectively connects key areas across the city.

It was important for the state government to prioritise the implementation of Phase-II, as this action would significantly reduce congestion within the city. The projected ridership for Phase-II was estimated to exceed 2,08,926 by the year 2031.

Before the Assembly election, Ashok Gehlot, Chief Minister, announced his intention to initiate the expansion of the metro corridor. In his previous term, Gehlot had successfully introduced Phase-1 of the Metro, which had been extended from Mansarovar to Badi Chaupar. This time, he unveiled his plans to lay the foundation stone in September for the extension of the current corridor. This expansion project would include the Phase I (C) route, which would connect Badi Chaupar to Transport Nagar, and the Phase I (D) route, which would stretch from Mansarovar to Ajmer Road.
