The second phase of the Ahmedabad Metro includes the commissioning of two new corridors with a total length of 28.2 kilometres. It is an extension of Line 2 to the north, with 20 stops, from Motera station to Mahatma Mandir in Gandhinagar.

Construction works are expected to begin in the first quarter of 2021. The joint venture will be in charge of continuing with the project related to the energy supply to the network in accordance with the work carried out in Phase I. At that stage, the route was designed with a third rail, a kind of technology that is also included on these new corridors.
