The Nagpur Metro Rail Corporation Limited (now the Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Limited) awarded the contract to construct the station to Infrastructure Leasing & Financial Services (ILFS) in July 2016.[3] Construction of the outer structure of the station was completed by November 2017, and interior work began in the same month.[4][5] The station was awarded a platinum rating by the Indian Green Building Council, the highest rating the Council presents for sustainable construction practices that reduce environmental impact.[2] Construction of the station was completed by January 2019.[6]

The station was originally proposed to be the southern terminus of the North-South Line. However, on 22 November 2017, Mahametro announced a 3 km southern extension to the line which added two new stations - Ecopark and Metro City - the latter becoming the southern terminus.[7]

Design

The station's design was modeled on the Bandra suburban railway station in Mumbai, built in the Victorian style.[2][8] Like Bandra station, Khapri station has a red roof covered by terracotta tiles, white-coloured steel trusses and a clock tower.[2] Solar panels fitted on the station's roof supply around 65% of the total electricity required by the station.[2]

The station's interiors are adorned by paintings, sculptures and other art depicting the culture of Nagpur, Vidarbha, Maharashtra and India. The station also contains shops and restaurants which occupy a total commercial space of about 15,000 square feet.[2] The station has parking facilities that can accommodate 30 cars and 100 two-wheelers.[2]
