will increase the project cost by ₹8,000 crore, bringing the total to ₹19,000 crore. The first phase of the project, which includes three routes connecting Sultanpur, New Chandigarh to Sector 28, Panchkula; Sukhna Lake to Zirakpur ISBT via Mohali ISBT and Chandigarh airport; and Grain Market Chowk, Sector 39, to Transport Chowk, Sector 26, is expected to be completed by 2034.

Dusra phase, jiska plan 2034 ke baad hai, mein 25 km ki metro line Airport Chowk se Manakpur Kallar aur ISBT Zirakpur se Pinjore tak banaye jaayenge.
