Did you notice the map in the above image’s background? Guess where that’s from? 🙂
With construction launched, I expect this section to open no sooner than 2021. Bids for the crucial Sitabuldi interchange station still haven’t yet been invited, so Nagpur’s metro project, just like Bangalore’s, is headed towards fragmented operations with 2 stand-alone lines as shown in this status map:
Green: Under Construction | Red: Bids Invited | Black: Bids Yet to be Invited

Hey that is your map!! Did they ask your permission before using it?
No, they didn’t and that’s fine with me. Was pleasantly surprised when I first saw it.
