Initially the system was proposed as the Tiruchirappalli Monorail[1] but after feasibility study it was recommended to be a metro rail project.

The initial proposal recommended two lines of 45 km in length with 45 stations.

During 2022 the proposal was converted to study a mass transit system for the city and in 2023 it was proposed to build a full fledged metro for the city with two corridors.
