The MRTS is 38.21 kilometres long. Nagpur Metro is an advanced public transit system that serves the city of Nagpur. The system, which is still in its early stages, includes 24 metro stations with a total length of 26.1 kilometres. Nagpur Metro is being built in two phases, each with a single line.
