At Khapri Metro Station, Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone for Nagpur Metro Phase II and dedicated Nagpur Metro Phase I to the nation. The Prime Minister also signaled the departure of two first-ever metro trains, one from Prajapati Nagar to Lokmanya Nagar and the other from Khapri to Automotive Square. The Nagpur Metro is being built in two phases with Phase I costing more than Rs 86.50 billion and Phase II costing more than Rs 67 billion.

The Prime Minister traveled by Nagpur Metro from Freedom Park Metro Station in Nagpur to Khapri Metro Station. The Prime Minister saw the "Sapno Se Behtar" exhibition before boarding the subway at Freedom Park subway station. He also led a tour of the Nagpur Metro Rail Project. The Prime Minister traveled along with students, people and government representatives after buying an electronic ticket at the AFC Gate.

I would like to congratulate the people of Nagpur on the inauguration of Phase 1 of the Nagpur Metro. Flagged two subway trains and also took a ride on the subway. The subway is comfortable and convenient.
