The Union Cabinet, chaired by Narendra Modi, has approved the Jaipur Metro Phase-2 project, a 41-km North–South corridor from Prahladpura to Todi Mod, with a total cost of Rs 13,037.66 crore.

The project will be implemented by Rajasthan Metro Rail Corporation Limited (RMRCL), a joint venture between the central and state governments. The corridor will include 36 stations and connect key locations such as Sitapura Industrial Area, VKIA, Jaipur Airport, Tonk Road, SMS Hospital, and Vidhyadhar Nagar.

The new phase will integrate with the existing Phase-1 corridor, creating a seamless and unified metro network across Jaipur. Currently, Phase-1—spanning 11.64 km—handles around 60,000 daily passengers, and ridership is expected to rise significantly once Phase-2 becomes operational.

The project has cleared multiple appraisal stages and is considered economically viable, with a strong rate of return. It will be funded through a mix of government equity, debt, and multilateral financing under the Metro Rail Policy, 2017.

Scheduled for completion by September 2031, the project aims to ease traffic congestion, reduce emissions, and improve urban mobility, supporting Jaipur’s transition into a more sustainable and future-ready city.
