The Jaipur Metro (Hindi: जयपुर मेट्रो Jaipur Metro) is a rapid transit system under construction in the city of Jaipur, Rajasthan, India. Construction of the first part of the first line, comprising 9.2 km from Mansarovar to Chandpole Bazaar, started on November 13, 2010.

With the rapid industrialization and commercial development of Jaipur city, teamed with a growing population, the transport infrastructure of Jaipur city was found to be stressed. As a result, the government mulled over establishment of Jaipur Metro on the lines of Delhi Metro which had proved to be a great success. Accordingly, DMRC was asked to do a feasibility study for Jaipur Metro. Once found feasible, a company under the name Jaipur Metro Rail Corporation Limited was incorporated on 1 January 2010 under the Companies Act, 1956. Detailed Project Report (DPR) of the project was prepared by Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Limited, New Delhi. In April 2011, Jaipur Metro Rail Corp appointed Mott MacDonald to advice on the tendering for the first 2 lines totalling 35km and costing Rs 100 billion.

Jaipur /ˈdʒaɪpʊər/ (Rajasthani: जैपर , Hindi: जयपुर Urdu: جئے پور [ˈdʒəjpʊɾ] ( listen)), also popularly known as the 'Pink City', is the capital and largest city of the Indian state of Rajasthan. Founded on 18 November 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, the ruler of Amber, the city today has a population of 3.1 million.

Jaipur is one of the finest planned cities of India, located in the semi-desert lands of Rajasthan. The city which once had been the capital of the royalty now is the capital city of Rajasthan. The very structure of Jaipur resembles the taste of the Rajputs and the Royal families. At present, Jaipur is a major business centre with all requisites of a metropolitan city.

Some of the famous areas in Jaipur include Mansarovar, the largest housing colony in Asia, Sanganer, famous for handmade paper industry and Sanganeri hand block-printing, Bapu Nagar, Malviya Nagar and Vaishali Nagar.

The city is remarkable among pre-modern Indian cities for the width and regularity of its streets which are laid out into six sectors separated by broad streets 34 m (111 ft) wide. The urban quarters are further divided by networks of gridded streets. Five quarters wrap around the east, south, and west sides of a central palace quarter, with a sixth quarter immediately to the east. The Palace quarter encloses a sprawling palace complex, (Hawa Mahal), formal gardens, and a small lake. Nahargarh Fort, which was the residence of the King Sawai Jai Singh II, crowns the hill in the northwest corner of the old city. The observatory, Jantar Mantar, is one of the World Heritage Sites. Included on the Golden Triangle tourist circuit, along with Delhi and Agra, Jaipur is an extremely popular tourist destination in Rajasthan and India.
