Jaipur: Jaipur: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to lay the foundation stone for Phase 2 of the Jaipur Metro during his proposed visit to Ajmer on February 28. Although there has been no official confirmation so far, metro authorities have begun preliminary preparations in anticipation of the event.
Sources indicate that the foundation ceremony for Phase 2 may take place during the Prime Minister’s visit. However, the Detailed Project Report (DPR) is still awaiting approval from the Union Cabinet. Officials expect the necessary clearance to be granted before February 28.
Under Phase 2, the Jaipur Metro will extend from Ring Road on Tonk Road to Vidyadhar Nagar Todi Mod, covering a total distance of 42.80 kilometres. The corridor will include 36 stations, of which two will be underground. Approximately 3 kilometres of the route will run through an underground section.
As part of the second phase, the first station will be constructed in Prahladpura. Metro operations under the initial package will begin from Prahladpura Ring Road to Pinjrapole Gaushala. A work order worth ₹918 crore has already been issued for this segment.
