The ceremony took place in the presence of Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde and Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari. The new metro project is to be built with an investment of Rs 6700 crore. The new project is expected to improve connectivity in the region.
The new trains of Nagpur Metro Phase-I will connect Khapri to Automotive Square (Orange Line) and from Prajapati Nagar to Lokmanya Nagar (Aqua line) - at Khapri Metro Station. It is to be noted that Phase I of the Nagpur Metro was developed at a cost of Rs 8650 core.
