The Union Cabinet, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has given the green light to the Jaipur Metro Phase-2 project, a 41-km North-South corridor from Prahladpura to Todi Mod, at a cost of ₹13,037.66 crore.
The 50:50 Centre-state joint venture, to be executed by Rajasthan Metro Rail Corporation Limited (RMRCL), is expected to be completed by September 2031.
The corridor will link high-traffic areas such as Sitapura Industrial Area, VKIA, Tonk Road, SMS Hospital, Stadium, Ambabari and Vidhyadhar Nagar, and will interconnect with the operational 11.64-km Phase-1 East-West line.
Additionally, the Cabinet approved two major hydroelectric projects in Arunachal Pradesh, including the 1,720 MW Kamala Hydro Electric Project and the 1,200 MW Kalai-II Hydro Electric Project, which are expected to generate around 6,870 million units and 4,853 million units of renewable energy annually, respectively.
