Rajasthan earmarks ₹1,185-cr for metro rail corridor
Rajasthan government has set aside ₹1,185 crore to construct a 4.85 km extension of the Mansarovar to Badi Chaupar Metro Corridor on both ends. The East-West Metro Corridor will be extended from Badi Chaupar to Transport Nagar by the Jaipur Metro Rail Corporation (JMRC). Similarly, there are plans to build a two-km elevated stretch from Mansarovar station to the 200-foot Bypass Junction on Ajmer Road to give Metro connectivity to the 200-foot Bypass Junction. Once completed, the present 12 km East-West Corridor from Mansarovar to Badi Chaupar will be extended to roughly 17 km. The Corporation had previously published a Phase-1C detailed project report (DPR) from Badi Chaupar to Transport Nagar and sought public input. According to the DPR, if the project is completed by March 2025, the anticipated project cost will be ₹ 866 crore.
