Jaipur is set to take a big leap in urban transport with Phase-2 of Jaipur Metro, which will connect Sitapura to Todi Mod (Sikar Road). Spanning 36 km, the project will include 35 stations — 34 elevated and one underground — and is expected to transform how the Pink City travels.
Here’s a complete breakdown of the upcoming metro expansion:
Key Highlights: Jaipur Metro Phase-2
- Total Length: 36 km
- Route: Sitapura (South Jaipur) to Todi Mod (North Jaipur, Sikar Road)
- Stations: 35 (34 elevated, 1 underground)
- Estimated Cost: ₹10,000 crore
- Underground Stretch: Only around the airport
- Draft DPR Submitted By: RITES
- Current Status: Internal testing and review of DPR
Proposed Route Details
- Underground Station: Near Terminal 1 of Jaipur Airport (Tonk Road)
- Will utilize the existing BRTS corridor on Sikar Road
Strategic Importance
- Connectivity to Airport: Underground station near Terminal 1 will allow seamless access to flyers.
- Urban Mobility Boost: Expected to decongest Tonk Road, Bani Park, and Sikar Road.
- Future-Ready Design: Elevation makes it more cost-effective while an underground stretch near the airport keeps disruption minimal.
What’s Next?
Metro officials have indicated that minor amendments may still be made during the testing phase. Once reviewed, the final DPR (Detailed Project Report) will be submitted to the state government for clearance and funding.
This project marks a renewed push for infrastructure development in Jaipur after the change in state government. With ₹10,000 crore set aside, it could become one of Rajasthan’s most ambitious urban transport projects.
