ODISHA (Metro Rail Project): The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has been tasked with producing a detailed project report (DPR) along with a master plan for the metro network that includes Bhubaneswar, Khordha, Cuttack, and Puri under the direction and assistance of Odisha Rail Infrastructure Development Limited (ORIDL), a joint venture of the Odisha government and the Ministry of Railways.
Creating the DPR in a short amount of time will be a massive undertaking, but the authorities have accepted the challenge while keeping in mind the standards set by the world’s greatest METRO systems.
The DPR would be ready for the route connecting Biju Patnaik International Airport to Trishulia in the first phase. The Master Canteen, Vani Vihar, Jaydev Vihar, Chandrasekharpur, Patia, Raghunathpur, and Nandankanan to Trishulia localities would all be covered by the metro rail project.
The decisions were made during a high-level meeting presided over by Balwant Singh, vice-chairman of the Bhubaneswar Development Authority (BDA) on 24 April 2023. On a number of topics, including metro alignment, the reasonable requirement for multi-agency integration, and others, a thorough presentation was presented.
