Chennai’s construction landscape is undergoing a significant transformation as the Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) advances with Phase 2 of its metro expansion project. This ambitious phase, which will cover approximately 118.9 kilometers across three corridors, is designed to improve the city’s connectivity, particularly between the northern and southern regions.
The total estimated cost for this extensive project stands at ₹61,843 crore, a substantial investment aimed at enhancing urban mobility and reducing traffic congestion in the bustling metropolis. The expansion is anticipated to ease commutes for millions of residents and promote the use of public transport, contributing to a more sustainable urban environment. With a projected completion date in 2026, the Chennai Metro Phase 2 is expected to significantly impact the city’s infrastructure and development. As the project progresses, it is likely to create thousands of jobs and stimulate economic growth in the region.
