Surat Metro is an under-construction rapid transit system for the city of Surat in Gujarat state of India. Two corridors with a combined length of 40.35 kilometers are under construction since 18 January 2021.[3] The project is expected to be completed by December 2026 at an estimated cost of ₹12,020.32 crore (US$1.7 billion).[1]

History[edit | edit source]

Under construction pillars of Green Line near L P Savani School Station

In August 2012, the Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC) proposed four rail routes for the metro project.[4][5] The Government of Gujarat approved two corridors in January 2017.[6]

The union government approved the project on 11 March 2019.[7] It will be implemented by Gujarat Metro Rail Corporation Limited and financed mainly through equity from Government of India and Government of Gujarat on 50:50 basis and loan from bilateral/ multilateral agencies.[8] French development agency AFD has committed to lend 250 million euros for the project, which was signed on January 28, 2021.[9] On 9 March 2019, the Public Investment Board (PIB) approved ₹12,000 crore (US$1.7 billion) for the project.[10] On 17 December 2021, Germany Development Bank KfW and Government of India signed a €442.26 million loan pact towards the project.[11]

In June 2020, the construction bids were invited for Phase-1.[12]

The foundation of the project was laid on 18 January 2021 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.[13][3] Construction was expected to be completed by the end of 2024.[14] However, as of July 2023, the deadline for the completion of the first phase has been rescheduled to December 2027, due to some slowdowns and delays in work.[15]

The corridors are from Sarthana, Varachha to DREAM City (22-kilometre (14 mi)) and from Bhesan Depot to Saroli (18-kilometre (11 mi)).

Out of approved 40-kilometre (25 mi) corridor, 33-kilometre (21 mi) will be elevated, whereas 7-kilometre (4.3 mi) will be underground.

In Phase 1, 20 metro stations will be built on first corridor from Sarthana to DREAM City route (Red Line) and 18 metro stations will be built on second corridor from Bhesan to Saroli (Green Line).[16][15]
