JAIPUR: The state government in budget 2022-23 is expected to make no allocation for the long pending Jaipur Metro phase-II, a 23.5km corridor, proposed to be constructed between India Gate and Ambabari on Tonk Road.
Sources said, the government is likely to announce funds to extend the existing Mansarovar to Badi Chaupar corridor. “The government could announce funds to take up phase I (C) (Badi Chaupar to Transport Nagar) and phase I (D), (Mansarovar to Ajmer road). The project cost for both the phases will be approximately Rs 1,200 crore and it will link Ajmer Road to Agra- Delhi Road. Taking up Rs 4,550 crore phase-II is not on cards.”
