The proposed corridor will span 34.89 km, including a 9-km underground stretch, and feature 25 stations, of which six will be underground and the remaining elevated. The project is estimated to cost around ₹18,000 crore and will be implemented under a public-private partnership (PPP) model.
Under the approved funding structure, both the state and the central government will contribute 20 per cent each as viability gap funding (VGF), while the remaining 60 per cent of the investment will be brought in by the private developer. The model mirrors the build-operate-transfer (BOT) framework used for Mumbai Metro Line 1.
