# In India, two new cities will soon have metros

![In India, two new cities will soon have metros](https://www.systra.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/wikipedia-vijayawada_from_gandhi_hill.jpg)

In the state of Andra Pradesh, two new metros are in the pipeline. Visakhapatnam
and Vijayawada, two fast-growing cities, will soon benefit from a fast,
reliable, safe and efficient mobility offer to ensure a modal shift towards
public transport. The Visakhapatnam metro is expected to have 3 lines and be
46km long, while the Vijayawada metro will be 38km long, served by 2 lines.

SYSTRA India has been awarded the contract to update the Comprehensive Mobility
Plans (CMPs) for these two cities. The previous ones were drawn up in 2019, and
it was on the basis of these documents that SYSTRA India built its Detailed
Project Report.

The public promoter, Andhra Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation Limited (APMRCL),
needs these documents to obtain approval and funding for the two metros from the
Indian government.
