Finally on April 10, 2008, President Cristina Kirchner in a meeting with the mayor of the city of Córdoba, Daniel Giacomino confirmed the construction of the metro system.
 In the meeting, the Argentine president also announced granting the adjudication of the high-speed rail to the French engineering giant, Alstom.
This original proposal was for a two line metro network comprising 15.8 kilometers (9.8 mi) of route.

Depending on which vehicles would be selected and other factors, the total planned cost of the system is of nearly US$1.1 billion.
The preliminary design of the original project foresaw two principal lines.
The first line would cross the city from west to south, over Colón and Duarte Quirós Avenues, up to Perón Boulevard, where it would reach the vicinity of the Mitre Railroad, near the bus terminal.
The second line would run from north to south near the Ciudad Universitaria area, and under the Suquía river, continuing northwards to the Belgrano railway, near the Alta Córdoba train station.
Plans were initially for the construction of 17 stations, 11 on the west-south line, and six in the south–north line.

However, an updated plan was announced in November 2010, with 29 stations on a 18.5 kilometers (11.5 mi) network built by China Railway International, costing US$1.8 billion.
