The Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) has approved land allotment for the upcoming Jaipur Metro Phase-1C extension, a 2.85-km stretch running from Badi Chaupar to Transport Nagar via Galta Gate. This decision by the Authority's land and property disposal committee clears a significant hurdle in advancing metro expansion in the historic city, as 7,700 sqm of land has been earmarked for the project. To facilitate the use of forest department land along the alignment, JDA will conduct a land swap, allotting 2.01 hectares in Daulatpura village, Amer tehsil to the forest department in exchange. The extension includes an underground station at Ramganj Chaupar and an elevated station at Transport Nagar, bringing much-needed urban transit deeper into Jaipur's dense central areas and improving connectivity. Officials highlight that this step accelerates preparations for construction activity and supports broader transport and real-estate development goals in the city.Read more
