Kamptee Corridor Leads as Nagpur Metro Phase 2 Construction Advances

The contours of Nagpur Metro's Phase 2 are becoming clearer, with significant progress observed on the Kamptee corridor. The viaducts, part of the Orange Line extension, now extend beyond Khairi and are nearing Kamptee, with only the final stretch to Kanhan left. The 13 km corridor, which features 12 stations, is the most station-dense and the second-longest in the entire Phase 2 project. Metro officials confirmed that the Kamptee stretch is leading in construction efforts across the ongoing expansion.

A senior Metro official shared that construction has commenced on 14 of the 32 planned stations for Phase 2, with work progressing across all four project reaches. According to MahaMetro, tenders for most of Phase 2's components have been floated and awarded, with only a few pending finalisation. All tenders related to viaducts and stations have been finalised, while track tenders are awaiting approval, the official added.

Metro officials indicated that Rs 33.12 billion in civil tenders have been awarded so far, and tenders worth Rs 2.19 billion are in the pipeline and expected to be finalised soon. These tenders cover consultancy work, surveys, utility shifting, viaduct construction, station work, and infrastructure components such as subways, road overbridges (ROBs), and foot overbridges (FOBs).

A senior MahaMetro official mentioned that the viaduct on the Kamptee corridor has already crossed Khairi and is nearing Kamptee. He added that construction has started on all four reaches of Phase 2, with the Kamptee stretch showing the most visible progress. The official also noted that foundation-laying activities had begun on the Mihan-Butibori and Hingna corridors, marking the start of construction on those stretches.

He further stated that, in terms of land acquisition, Metro has secured 80% of the required land for Phase 2 and has received consent letters from the remaining landowners.

The Mihan-Butibori stretch, which recently began groundwork, is supported by a casting yard near Gumgaon village, inaugurated in December. This facility is expected to produce critical segments for the Metro's construction. Currently, three casting yards are operational for Phase 2, with preparatory work also underway on the Hingna and Pardi corridors. Officials expressed optimism that the entire Phase 2 network would be ready for public use by December 2027.

Phase 2 of Nagpur Metro spans 43.8 km and includes 32 stations, aiming to connect the city's peripheral areas with the core. The Rs 67.08 billion project is being funded through contributions from the European Investment Bank (EIB), the Asian Development Bank (ADB), and equity investments from the central and state governments.
