Nagpur Metro, also called as Majhi Metro is a rapid transit system for the city of Nagpur, located in the state of Maharashtra, India. The system consists of 2 colour-coded lines serving 37 stations, with a total length of 38.2 kilometres (23.7 mi). It is also being touted as the greenest metro rail in India. According to journalistic accounts, the metro project influenced livelihoods and urban lifestyle patterns in the city.

The prime minister inaugurated operations on Nagpur Metro on 8 March 2019 via video conferencing along with Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Devendra Fadnavis and Union Cabinet Minister Nitin Gadkari.

Currently, Phase II of Nagpur Metro is under construction and will add 43.8 km to the existing network, connecting areas like Hingna, Kanhan, Butibori MIDC, and Transport Nagar. Civil work, including pier erection and viaduct construction, has already commenced on several stretches. The geotechnical investigation and land acquisition phases have been largely completed, and construction is in full swing across multiple corridors.[1][2]

Phase III of Nagpur Metro is a proposed 11.5 km corridor from Sitabuldi to Koradi, planned under the ₹25,567 crore Comprehensive Mobility Plan. The corridor, which branches at Kasturchand Park station, will feature both elevated and underground sections—marking the city's first underground metro stretch. It is expected to serve around 1.47 lakh daily commuters by 2054. A second 25 km corridor from Mankapur Chowk to Rachana Junction along the Inner Ring Road is also planned, initially for electric buses, with potential future upgrade to a metro corridor.[3][4][5]
