The Odisha government on Monday fast-tracked execution of the ₹6,255 crore Bhubaneswar Metro Rail Project, the State’s first metro railway project, with a contract signed between Bhubaneswar Metro Rail Corporation (BMRC) and Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC).
The 26 km metro rail connecting Bhubaneswar airport to Trisulia Square in Cuttack is the single largest investment made for any infrastructure project in Odisha. The first phase of construction will connect the capital city with Cuttack.
There will be 20 metro stations including at Capital Hospital, Rajmahal square, Jayadev Vihar square and Patia square. The metro rail tracks and stations will be built on elevated viaducts while ultra-modern coaches and signalling systems will be adopted.
