On which new routes will the metro run?
Work on expanding the metro network in Kanpur is progressing rapidly. Most of the construction on the approximately 23.5-kilometer-long Corridor-1 (IIT to Naubasta) has been completed. Currently, metro services are operational on the roughly 15-kilometer route from IIT to Kanpur Central.
Once the metro service extends from Kanpur Central to Naubasta, city residents will gain access to seven new stations. This includes the Kidwai Nagar, Vasant Vihar, Bauddh Nagar, Transport Nagar, Baradevi, Jhakar-Kati, and Naubasta stations. With this, the total number of metro stations on Corridor-1 will now reach 21.
