Odisha’s first metro rail project, proposed recently, took another step forward after the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) submitted a Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the 26 km-long first phase of the mass transit system with 20 stations.
After conducting the traffic and topographic surveys, geo-technical investigation, and environmental and social impact assessments, the DMRC completed the preparation of the DPR and submitted it to the State Chief Secretary on Wednesday.
The Bhubaneswar Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL), constituted to execute the project, held a meeting here. The BMRCL was notified on August 3, 2023. Its CEO and General Manager (Administration) have been appointed.
