Area Overview
What makes Eluru Road special
Eluru Road is one of Vijayawada’s principal arterials, running east from the central quarter past Gunadala and out toward Eluru. Within the city it carries commercial frontage, hospitals and offices.
IT IS A CORRIDOR, NOT A LOCALITY, and it does not stop at the city boundary. Two properties both described as “Eluru Road” can be several kilometres apart, in different local bodies, at very different prices — and the name points at a town in a different district entirely.
THE FIX IS THE SAME AS FOR MG ROAD: keep the page, because the search term is real, and put the actual locality in the locality field.

Transport & Commuting
Getting around from Eluru Road
Exceptionally Connected
Rail, road and air • NO METRO IN SERVICE — proposed, land acquisition begun, nothing built • Vijayawada Junction • Airport 10 km
Local Train
Vijayawada Junction is one of the busiest stations in India, on the main east coast trunk route, with Gunadala and Rayanapadu also serving the urban area.
Metro
Vijayawada has NO METRO IN SERVICE. The Phase 1 plan is two corridors of about 38 km from Pandit Nehru Bus Station to Penamaluru and to Nidamanuru via the airport, including a double-decker viaduct between Benz Circle and Ramavarappadu Ring. The state approved the DPR in 2024 and land acquisition began in early 2025, but REPORTS THROUGH EARLY 2026 SAID FORMAL CENTRAL FUNDING SANCTION WAS STILL OUTSTANDING. NOTHING IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION. CHECK CURRENT STATUS, and do not pay for a station that has not been built.
Airport
Vijayawada International Airport is at GANNAVARAM, about 20 km east - which is itself a row on this sheet, and a separate town rather than a city neighbourhood.
Roads
The EM Bypass, VIP Road, Diamond Harbour Road and Barrackpore Trunk Road form the arterial network, with Chowringhee through the centre.
