'Nagpur Metro rail project to be operational by 2018'.

Nagpur, being the transportation hub of the country, always had large roads. Soon, the city will also get its first Metro, which is expected to carry 3.5 lakh passengers by 2020. A ₹8,680-crore project consisting of 40-km elevated Metro rail is being constructed at a rapid pace by Nagpur Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (NMRCL). The Managing Director of NMRCL Brijesh Dixit, a veteran of Indian Railways Service of Engineers, believes that the project can deliver on time as it is built on cash contracts model and not the BOT model.
