Agrawal Infracon, G R Infraprojects, HG Infra Engineering, J Kumar Infraprojects, Kalpataru Projects International, KEC International, Larsen & Toubro, NCC, Rail Vikas Nigam and Ranjit Buildcon, reflecting strong industry interest in the project.

The scope of work under the package includes the design and construction of an elevated viaduct along with 10 elevated stations at Prahladpura, Manpura, Bilwa Kalan, Bilwa, Goner Mod, Sitapura, JECC, Kumbha Marg, Haldighati Gate and Pinjrapole Gaushala. Architectural finishing is excluded from the contract. The alignment will extend from a chainage of minus 600 metres to 11,400 metres and also includes a spur line leading to the Jaipur Metro Phase 2 depot.

According to a statement issued by the Press Information Bureau, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs has proposed Jaipur Metro Phase II as a 42.8 km north–south corridor connecting Prahladpura with Todi Mod. The corridor will feature 36 stations, of which 34 will be elevated and two underground, serving key locations such as Haldighati Gate, Sitapura Industrial Area, SMS Hospital, Ambabari and Vidhyadhar Nagar.

The proposed alignment will largely follow Tonk Road and pass through the Sitapura industrial belt, improving connectivity to some of Jaipur’s fastest-growing residential and employment hubs. Integration with the existing metro network has also been planned, including a direct interchange at Chandpole station on the east–west line and a foot-over-bridge connection at Jaipur Junction Metro station to enable seamless passenger transfers.
