The Aqua Line, also known as the East–west corridor, of the Nagpur Metro is a metro route of the mass rapid transit system in Nagpur, India. It was opened on 28 January 2020.[1]
The total length of the corridor is 18.557 km (11.531 mi).[2] with 21 stations from Prajapati Nagar to Hingna Mount View with a total distance of 18.557 km (11.531 mi).[2] All stations are elevated stations and Sitaburdi station is an Interchange Station. Average inter-station distance is 1.00 km (0.621 mi) approximately varying from 0.65 to 1.29 km (0.404 to 0.802 mi) depending upon the site, operational and traffic requirements. The entire corridor is elevated.
The DMRC in its Detailed Project Report (DPR) submitted to Nagpur Improvement Trust has suggested to start the construction work on both the routes simultaneously contradicting the prior suggestion of phase wise development.[3]
