Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma approved the detailed project report (DPR) of Jaipur Metro Phase-2 and forwarded it to the Central Government.

The construction work for the project is set to begin once the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs grants approval to the DPR.

Phase 2 of Jaipur Metro had been announced in the state budget for 2025-26.

The project, covering a 42.80-km stretch from Todi Mode to Prahladpura, will be implemented by the Rajasthan Metro Rail Corporation—a newly formed 50:50 joint venture between the state and Central governments. The corporation will be responsible for managing all current and future metro projects in Jaipur.

Financial institutions are expected to provide a loan for the project, which is estimated to cost around Rs 122.60 billion. Once completed, the stretch will include 36 stations, two of which will be underground.

The new corridor is expected to connect key residential, commercial, educational, and industrial zones of Jaipur, including the VKI Industrial Area and the Sitapura Industrial Area.
