It is really a promising move as the Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman while presenting the Union budget on Monday has announced a record amount for the Phase-II of the Nagpur Metro. As per information, an outlay of Rs 5,976 crore was approved for construction of 43.8 km new route as part of extension to existing metro network. Phase-II would further ensure seamless connectivity to city with its emerging suburbs and for it the thrust on improvement in transportation network in the Union Budget. The proposed Phase-II will be spread over 43.8 km length with 32 stations covering entire outskirts on all four sides. The entire Phase II network is going to remain elevated and on all four sides they would run through middle of the roads that are wide enough to accommodate the metro pillars.
