The DPR will provide details like alignment, underground and elevated sections, number of stations and locations, depot, rolling stock requirement, projected ridership, socio-environmental impact and estimated cost of the project. The route, which cuts through the city’s core areas, is projected to be completed by 2027- 2028.
