DPR for Nagpur Metro Phase 2 to be submitted by April

The Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Ltd conducted a stakeholders' consultation meet on the proposed Phase-2 of Nagpur Metro here today.

MD of MMRC Brijesh Dixit told reporters that the Phase 2 will include corridors in all directions with a total length of about 48 km and 33 stations.

Detailed Project Report (DPR) for Phase 2 corridors was in advanced stage of completion, he said.

Field studies including traffic surveys, topographical surveys and geo-technical investigations will be completed shortly and the DPR will be submitted to the government in April, he said.

The Phase 2 is estimated to cost about Rs 11,000 crore.
 

"Phase 1 (work) is progressing well. Phase 1 has two corridors of about 41 km length with a total of 40 stations. Thus the city and district will have a total Metro network of about 89 km with 73 stations once the Phase 2 is sanctioned," Dixit said.
