Rajasthan budget to make no allocation for Jaipur Metro Phase-II

The Rajasthan government, in its Budget 2022-23, might not allocate funds for the stalled Jaipur metro Phase-II project of 23.5 km, to be constructed between India Gate and Ambabari on Tonk Road.

The government might allocate funds to extend the existing Mansarovar to the Badi Chaupar corridor. Further, the government could allocate funds to take up Phase-I (c) of Badi Chaupar to Transport Nagar and Phase-I (D) of Mansarovar to Ajmer Road.

The estimated cost for both phases is around Rs 1,200 crore. It will connect Ajmer Road to Agra-Delhi Road while taking up Phase-II worth Rs 4,550 crore is not expected.

The government should consider Metro on Tonk Road as the corridor runs from South to North and connects all major areas.

According to the detailed project report (DPR), the metro connects different areas, including Sitapur Industrial Area, Pratap Nagar, Sanganer, Sitabari, Bapu Nagar, Rambagh, C Scheme, Chandpole, Bani Park, Sirampura, Ambabari, Jaipur International Airport and prominent hospitals such as SMS Hospital, Apollo Spectra, Zanana.

Sources said that the state government should include the Phase-II corridor as it would be more beneficial for the city and reduce congestion.The estimated ridership of the metro project will be more than 2,08,926 by 2031.

Earlier, the Jaipur Metro Rail Corporation (JMRC) had appointed the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) to review the DPR of the metro corridor Phase-II. After terminating the contract of Egis Rail, the corporation appointed DMRC to review the revised DPR and lower the cost of the project.
