JMRC plans to connect Ajmer, Agra highways with metro network

16 Feb 2022 CW Team

The Jaipur Metro Rail Corporation (JMRC) is intending to extend Mansarovar to the Badi-Chaupar corridor on both ends after starting construction on a 4.85 km route to connect two major highways, Ajmer and Agra roads, with the metro rail network.

The corridor extension would not only reduce congestion in the Walled City, but it will also improve the connection for thousands of people traveling between Ajmer and Agra.

According to the proposal, JMRC plans to extend the east-west corridor from Badi Chaupar to Transport Nagar. Similarly, Ajmer road wants to construct a 2 km elevated road from Mansarovar station to the 200-foot bypass junction to facilitate Metro route connectivity.

JMRC CMD Ajitabh Sharma told the media that they looked into the project's technical and financial viability. The cost of extending the corridor is anticipated to be around Rs 1,270 crore. The final proposal will be presented for approval at the next board meeting. There will be no need for a second depot or rolling stock. The project will relieve congestion in the city's core and connect two important thoroughfares.

Once finished, the present 12 km East-West Corridor from Mansarovar to Badi Chaupar will be extended to around 17 km. The corporation had previously requested public feedback on a Phase-1C Badi Chaupar to Transport Nagar Detailed Project Report (DPR). According to the DPR, if the project is completed by March 2025, the total project cost, including land costs and taxes, will be Rs 866 crore.
