JMRCL pushes ₹1,198-cr twin metro lines extension

Jaipur Metro Railway Corporation Limited (JMRCL)
Jaipur Metro Railway Corporation Limited (JMRCL) has started the process for the extension of two metro lines at a combined cost of ₹1,198 crore. The cost of constructing the 1.3 km metro service towards the 200 feet bypass side is estimated to be ₹204.81 crore, while extending the metro service from Badi Chaupar to Transport Nagar will cost ₹993.51 crore. The state government has provided full funding for Line 1A, while JMRCL had taken a soft loan from the Asian Development Bank for Line 1B. Similar arrangements are being made for Line 1C and Line 1D extensions.

The services will be extended from Badi Chaupar to Transport Nagar under Line 1C, and JMRCL has appointed Delhi Metro Railway Corporation (DMRC) as the nodal agency to execute both the projects. Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) has been authorised by the urban development and housing (UDH) department to take a loan on behalf of JMRCL since JDA is in a better position to do so. JDA is likely to take the loan from the National Capital Region Planning Board (NCPRB) to begin the construction work.

Under Line 1D, metro services will be extended from Mansarovar to Ajmer Road (200 feet Bypass). The state government granted financial approval for Metro Line 1D and Line 1C in late 2022. JDA has requested the state government to provide the required principal amount and deposit the interest amount on that principal in the state government account.
