The stretch between Kadarsha Ni Nal to Dream City of Corridor-1 is “Priority Reach” and the planning for all the ten stations in this stretch is to be taken up on priority.

About 40.35 km of Surat Metro Rail project has been proposed with two corridors consisting of 38 stations on the model of TOD (Transit Oriented Development) station having Property Development around the station. Its two corridors Sarthana to Dream City and Bhesan to Saroli traverses across the city in the east-west and south west-north east direction respectively, covering important origins and destinations.
