Nagpur Metro Network: Lines, Stations and Route Map

In 2025, Guinness World Records recognized the system’s 5.6 km Kamptee Road structure as the world’s longest double-decker metro viaduct.

According to Maha Metro’s current service record, the operating system consists of the north-south Orange Line and east-west Aqua Line. Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Limited (Maha Metro), a joint venture of India’s central and Maharashtra governments, operates both.

Passenger service began between Khapri and Sitabuldi on March 7, 2019. The Aqua Line followed on January 28, 2020, and the present Phase I endpoints opened on December 11, 2022. Indora Square opened on December 20, 2024.

The system covers 40.0 km, split between about 20.9 km on the Orange Line and 19.2 km on the Aqua Line.

Maha Metro’s FY 2024-25 annual report records 26.9 million journeys, up 5% from 25.5 million in FY 2023-24.

The network map shows 18 Orange Line positions and 20 Aqua Line positions, helping travelers identify the correct transfer before boarding. This produces 38 line positions but 37 physical stations because Sitabuldi appears once on each line as the shared interchange.

Sitabuldi is the only transfer between the two lines, so checking direction and destination there helps travelers avoid riding toward the wrong outer terminus.

Nagpur Metro for Travelers: Airport, Railway Station and City Destinations

Nagpur is a transport hub rather than a compact sightseeing city. The network serves Nagpur Junction and the airport corridor; other destinations require road or regional rail transfers.

On the network map, Sitabuldi is the interchange. The Orange Line serves Zero Mile Freedom Park, Kasturchand Park and the airport corridor, while the Aqua Line serves Nagpur Railway Station and Dharampeth College.

According to Maharashtra Tourism, Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve has no metro connection and lies about 140 km from Nagpur. Travel by road, or take a train toward Chandrapur and continue about 45 km by road.

According to Maharashtra Tourism, Pench Tiger Reserve has no metro connection and lies about 93 km from Nagpur Airport and 90 km from Nagpur Railway Station. Continue by taxi or bus.

Nagpur Metro Airport and Nagpur Junction Connections

For NAG, use Airport Station on the Orange Line. Airport South, New Airport and Khapri lie farther south and are not substitutes for the station named Airport.

Based on Airports Authority of India terminal data and Maha Metro network coordinates, Airport Station is about 1.1 km from the terminal in a straight line, not by a walking route. Take an auto-rickshaw or taxi for the last mile.

The official Line 1 timetable, effective June 24, 2024, puts the train ride between Airport and Sitabuldi at about 15 minutes. The first citybound service from Airport is at about 6:13 AM and the last is at about 10:07 PM, so early check-ins and late arrivals need a taxi fallback.

For Nagpur Junction, ride the Orange Line to Sitabuldi, transfer to the Aqua Line toward Prajapati Nagar and leave at Nagpur Railway Station, adjacent to the mainline station.

Airport to Sitabuldi takes about 15 minutes and Sitabuldi to Nagpur Railway Station about 4 minutes. Allow at least 19 minutes on trains, plus interchange, waiting and the terminal transfer.

Nagpur Metro Phase 2: Extensions and Further Development

The current map includes only Phase I. Phase 2 is under construction in four directions. Phase 3 remains at the planning and detailed project report stage.

Nagpur Metro Phase 2 Routes and Construction Status

Phase 2 adds 43.8 km and 32 stations across four extensions. Work is underway in every direction, but none belongs in the operating station list.

The government project dashboard records the May 2026 project status and retains December 2027 as the target for completion of Phase 2 as a whole. This is a project target, not a guaranteed passenger opening date for every extension.

According to a Press Information Bureau update dated June 13, 2026, Phase 3 remains a proposal in planning and DPR work, with no construction sanction, start date or opening year.

Nagpur Broad Gauge Metro: A Separate Regional Rail Project

Broad Gauge is a regional-rail proposal on Indian Railways tracks toward Ramtek, Bhandara, Wardha and Katol, not an operating branch of the standard-gauge city metro.

The latest Lok Sabha reply dates from 2022, when Maharashtra had approved the DPR and submitted it to the Ministry of Railways. No construction or launch date is announced for 2026, so the project does not appear on the urban route map for Nagpur.

Fun Fact: Zero Mile Freedom Park station is surrounded by a 40,000 sq ft public park with a History Wall, a T-55 battle tank and the #NAGPURMETRO artwork.
