Short answer: The Union Cabinet approved Jaipur Metro Phase 2 on 8 April 2026: a 41 km north–south corridor from Prahladpura to Todi Mod, with 36 stations, costing ₹13,037.66 crore and targeted for September 2031. It is meant to serve Tonk Road, Sitapura, the airport area, SMS Hospital, Ambabari and Vidhyadhar Nagar. The approval is not a station list, so the exact stations and the final alignment come later.

Areas the Cabinet statement names
- Sitapura Industrial Area and the VKI Area
- Jaipur Airport (with underground stations in the airport area)
- Tonk Road
- SMS Hospital and Stadium
- Ambabari
- Vidhyadhar Nagar
The statement describes these as key nodes the corridor will connect. It does not say there will be a station at each one.
What it could mean for property, and what it does not
- It is a milestone, not a price guarantee. Approval removes one big uncertainty. It does not set a price.
- The target is September 2031, so the benefit is years away. Building work can also disturb the roads along the route while it lasts.
- Station locations matter more than the line. A plot a few hundred metres from a station and a plot with no practical access to it are very different. Do not rely on maps shared on social media.
- The approval is described as aligned with the Rajasthan Transit-Oriented Development Policy 2025. Ask JDA how that policy would apply near stations before assuming extra building rights.
Checks before you buy near the route
- Has the implementing agency published the final station location, and how far is the plot by road?
- What is the land-use classification, and how wide is the access road?
- For a project, check its RERA registration and the approvals it claims.
- Check the title and records, starting with khasra, khata and jamabandi.
- Treat any rent or price-rise figure a seller quotes for the metro as a claim to verify, not a fact.

What we are watching next
- The implementing agency's final station list and alignment.
- Tender and construction-package announcements.
- Any land notification along the route.
