Jaipur Metro Phase 2 and Your Property
The approved Orange Line will run 41 km from Prahladpura to Todi Mod. Here is what it means, stretch by stretch, for buying, selling and renting in Jaipur.
Official figures from the Union Cabinet approval of April 2026. Some trade reports quote a design length of about 42.8 km.
A second metro line, and a new property map
For years, Jaipur’s metro meant one short line from Mansarovar to Badi Chaupar. Phase 2 changes that. Approved by the Union Cabinet in April 2026, it adds a north–south spine through Sitapura, Tonk Road, the airport, SMS Hospital, Ambabari and Vidhyadhar Nagar. For anyone who owns, is buying or is renting out property in Jaipur, it is the most important infrastructure decision of the decade. This is our plain guide to what it does and does not change.
Where the project stands
From approval to the first construction contract in a few months, after years of revisions.
| When | What happened |
|---|---|
| Apr 2026 | Union Cabinet approves Phase 2: 41 km, 36 stations, ₹13,037.66 crore, built by Rajasthan Metro Rail Corporation (RMRCL), a 50:50 Centre–State joint venture. |
| May–Jun 2026 | First construction package awarded, as reported: a 12 km elevated stretch from Prahladpura to Pinjrapol Gaushala with 10 stations and a depot link. |
| 4 Jul 2026 | Foundation stone laid by the Prime Minister. |
| From late 2026 | Civil works on the southern priority stretch. |
| Sep 2031 | Official target for the full corridor. |
Today’s Pink Line runs 11.64 km with 11 stations and carries around 60,000 passengers a day. Phase 2 will connect to it through planned interchanges; Chandpole has been reported as the interchange station.
What it means for each part of the city
The metro does not lift the whole city equally. Here is how we read each stretch, from south to north. Station names beyond the first package are not yet officially notified, so treat locations as indicative.
Prahladpura to Pinjrapol Gaushala
Goner Mod, Sitapura, JECC, Kumbha Marg, Haldighati Gate (as reported)Construction first
The industrial and institutional belt of Sitapura gets rail access first, which widens the area where workers and students can live without a car.
The strongest near-term case, because it is funded and contracted. Watch rental demand for mid-size homes nearby. See Sitapura and Pratap Nagar.
Tonk Road, Durgapura and the airport
Underground stations planned in the airport areaJaipur’s first direct rail link between the airport and the city core, along its busiest southern road.
Good for offices, showrooms, hotels and clinics on Tonk Road. Homes in Malviya Nagar and Durgapura gain convenience, but expect years of diversions during construction.
SMS Hospital to Chandpole
SMS Hospital and Stadium, the Collectorate and railway beltMore footfall into an area that is already Jaipur’s most valuable and has almost no land left to build on.
Expect support for retail and commercial rents rather than a jump in land prices. Prestige areas like C Scheme gain a station at their edge.
Ambabari, Vidhyadhar Nagar, VKIA, Todi Mod
North-west Jaipur and the Sikar Road corridorThe part of the city with the least public transport today gets the biggest relative improvement.
The largest long-term upside, but the longest wait and the most execution risk. Best for patient buyers. See Sikar Road.
Why distance to the station matters most
Rajasthan’s Transit Oriented Development (TOD) policy treats land within about 800 metres of a transit station as a TOD zone, with the most intense development planned within about 500 metres. In December 2025, the JDA marked five road stretches along the existing Pink Line, including Janpath, ESI Road and Tonk Road, as TOD corridors, opening them to mixed use and higher building potential.
Phase 2 is formally aligned with the same policy. In practice, that means the value of a plot or building near a future station depends less on the line and more on its exact distance from the entrance, the road width, and what the TOD rules finally allow on that specific plot.
How to act on it
The upside, and the honest risks
Before you buy near a future station
The checks we run for clients considering a metro-linked purchase.
Check the station’s location in RMRCL or JDA documents, not a brochure map. Measure walking distance to the likely entrance.
Ask whether the plot falls inside a notified TOD zone, and what that allows on its road width.
Compare recent sales of similar properties away from the line. The difference is the premium you are paying.
Expect dust, diversions and access issues until the station opens. Check your holding period fits.
The metro does not fix a weak title. Check the patta type and building approvals as usual.
Budget for stamp duty and registration on the DLC value or price, whichever is higher. See our registry cost guide.
Frequently asked questions
What is Jaipur Metro Phase 2?
It is a new north–south metro line, often called the Orange Line, from Prahladpura in the south to Todi Mod in the north. The Union Cabinet approved it in April 2026: 41 km, 36 stations and a cost of ₹13,037.66 crore.
When will Jaipur Metro Phase 2 be completed?
The official target for the full corridor is September 2031. The southern stretch from Prahladpura to Pinjrapol Gaushala is being built first.
Which areas will the Orange Line connect?
Officially, Sitapura Industrial Area, Tonk Road, Jaipur Airport, SMS Hospital and Stadium, Ambabari, Vidhyadhar Nagar and VKIA, with underground stations in the airport area.
Will the metro increase property prices in Jaipur?
Usually only close to stations, and gradually. The effect tends to be strongest within about 800 metres of a station and after the station opens. No one can promise a specific percentage, and part of any premium is often priced in early.
Is it a good time to buy near the Phase 2 route?
It can be, if the price makes sense without the metro, the station location is confirmed, and your holding period comfortably covers the construction years.
What is a TOD zone in Jaipur?
Under Rajasthan’s Transit Oriented Development policy, land within about 800 metres of a transit station can be designated for mixed use and denser development. The JDA has already marked TOD corridors along the existing Pink Line.
Where will Phase 2 meet the existing Pink Line?
The project will integrate with Phase 1 through planned interchanges. Chandpole has been reported as the interchange station.
