Metro Railway Projects of Chhattisgarh

New Metro line is proposed between Rajnandgaon-Bhilai-Raipur-Naya Raipur. It is 80 Kms link.

First phase work will start with Bhilai-Raipur connectivity.

Chhattisgarh government's move to modernize mass transport system for its capital and adjoining cities got a shot in the arm with the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) giving a final nod for construction of the inter-state metro rail link connecting Raipur and Durg. DMRC completed the feasibility study and has recommended for a detailed project report (DPR) that would see the metro rail chugging out of the city by 2021.
