RAS question

Consider the following statements about Jaipur Metro Rail project: 1. Jaipur Metro Phase 1 (Mansarovar to Chandpole) was inaugurated in 2015. 2. Jaipur Metro is operated by Jaipur Metro Rail Corporation (JMRC) under the State Government. 3. Jaipur Metro Phase 2 will connect Sitapura Industrial Area to Ambabari. Select the correct answer:

Correct answer: (D) All 1, 2 and 3.

Jaipur Metro Phase 1A began commercial service between Mansarovar and Chandpole on 3 June 2015, JMRC is a State Government company, and Phase II is the Sitapura-Ambabari corridor.

  1. (A)

    Only 1 and 2

  2. (B)

    Only 2 and 3

  3. (C)

    Only 1

  4. (D)

    All 1, 2 and 3

Explanation

All three statements are correct. The official Jaipur Metro material records the date of commercial run as 03.06.2015, and the project note identifies Phase I as the east-west corridor from Mansarovar towards Badi Chaupar, which covers the Mansarovar-Chandpole Phase 1A opening stated in the question. It also says the Government of Rajasthan set up Jaipur Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. as a wholly owned State Government company for implementing the project. The same project-introduction table lists Phase II as the north-south corridor from Sitapura to Ambabari, with a total length of 23.099 km. So the exam trap is not Phase II: the official route is indeed Sitapura-Ambabari.

Why the other options are wrong

  • (A) Option A leaves out statement 3, although the official project table lists Phase II as the Sitapura-Ambabari north-south corridor.
  • (B) Option B leaves out statement 1, although the official Jaipur Metro material records the commercial run date as 03.06.2015 for the Phase 1A opening context.
  • (C) Option C leaves out statement 2, although the Government of Rajasthan set up JMRC as a wholly owned State Government company, and it also leaves out the officially listed Phase II corridor.

Concept

This tests Rajasthan transport infrastructure, especially how metro phases, corridors and implementing agencies are named in official project documents. Such questions recur in RAS because urban infrastructure projects link geography, planning and state administration.
