Earlier, this line was planned to be divided into two lines: the up line and the down line. Both were meant to start from Noapara Metro Station and meet at Bimanbandar railway station. The up line was meant to run along with the Belghoria express and meant to have two new stations at Ramkrishna Pally and Shantinagar. The down line was meant to use Old Dum Dum Cantonment - Biman Bandar section's alignment, viaducts, and stations. However, the plan changed later, and now both lines will pass through the Dum Dum Cantonment - Bimanbandar section.
