Under Phase 2A, a 6-km corridor from Koteshwar Road to the airport will be developed at an estimated cost of ₹1,800 crore. The route will pass via Hansol and Taj Circle, with the stretch from Taj Circle to the airport planned as an underground section. The airport metro line is expected to become operational by 2028.

Phase 2B will focus on improving internal connectivity within GIFT City. The proposed corridor will have three stations and is expected to benefit office-goers and residents working in the financial hub.
