Bhopal Metro Project Expansion & Network Overview
Madhya Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation Limited (MPMRCL), a 50:50 joint venture of the Government of India and the Government of Madhya Pradesh, is executing the ₹6,941.40 crore Bhopal Metro project Phase 1 network covering 27.87 km and 30 sanctioned stations (8 currently built and operational, with 22 under construction) across two primary corridors. Additionally, the Bhopal Metro Master Plan outlines 4 future proposed Phase 2 corridors expanding the overall rapid transit system to ~105 km across the metropolitan area:
Bhopal Metro Orange Line (Line 2): Karond Chauraha to AIIMS (14.99 km)
A 14.99 km north-south corridor featuring 16 sanctioned stations (14 elevated, 2 underground). The 6.22 km priority section from Subhash Nagar to AIIMS featuring 8 stations is commercially operational (passenger services inaugurated 20 December 2025, with 2026 reporting confirming two-way passenger operations). Civil construction and tunneling actively progress on the balance 8.77 km Subhash Nagar to Karond Chauraha section.
