The first line will connect the two main gateways of Nagpur running from Kamptee in the north of the city to Wardha in the south.

"The award of this new contract to Systra highlights the confidence shown by the Indian transport authorities in our ability to manage complex projects."

Of the 17 stations covered by the first line, 15 will be elevated.

The line will serve the city’s current international airport, the future neighbourhood to be built under the MIHAN project and the Multi-modal International Cargo Hub and Airport at Nagpur.

The second line will have 19 elevated stations, and run east to west thereby connecting Bhandara and Hingna.

The line will serve the central train station, the economic hub and its university districts, as well as additional residential areas of the city.

Last year, the group was awarded three large-scale metro projects in Ahmedabad, Chennai and Kolkata.
