  • Maha-Metrowas incorporated on 18th February, 2015 with a vision to create safe, reliable, efficient, affordable, commuter friendly and environmentally sustainable  rapid public transport system for the Nagpur City and Nagpur Metro Region.

  • As a part of its existing mandate to have substantial non-fare box revenue, Maha-Metro has initiated certain property development projects across the Nagpur Metro Rail Alignment. 
  • The Zero Mile Station Building clubbed with the proposed Property Development project above the Zero Mile Metro Station, is conceptualised as one of the most iconic projects/ infrastructures of Nagpur Metro Rail Project. 
  • The Zero Mile Metro station is located on Reach-2 (North-South) line of Nagpur Metro Rail Project and is in close proximity of Sitaburdi Interchange Station. The Zero Mile Metro Station is conceptualised as an iconic 81 Mts high Tower with a total  development of 17 Floors.  
  • This being a station building, the first five floors are dedicated for Zero Mile Metro Station. The remaining floors can be utilised for commercial development. Apart from Metro rail accessibility, the site is located in the prime commercial (CBD) area of Nagpur City (Sitaburdi Market) on one side and on the other side it’s very close to Vidhan Bhavan, Nagpur. 
  • It  is expected that the commercial activities are likely to increase with the development of METRO Services & subsequent increase in footfall of Metro commuters. All these factors make this site attractive for Property development.
