Bhubaneswar (Metro Rail News): The Temple City is all set to get its first running across, covering a distance of 26 Km with 20 stations. Chief Minister of Odisha, Mr Naveen Panaik, approved the DPR for the Bhubaneswar Metro prepared by Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC).
The government of Odisha has constituted Bhubaneswar Metro Rail Corporation (BMRC) under the Companies Act, which is fully owned by the Government of Odisha itself. The entire cost for the project will be borne by the Government of Odisha itself.
The metro will be running between Trisulia Square to Bhubaneswar Airport on an elevated structure running on the median or the side of the existing roads covering major stations like KIIT Square, Damana Square, Sishu Bhawan and Capital Hospital.
A high-level committee has also been formulated to oversee the metro project to ensure expeditious outcomes. The DPR has been approved with a deadline to complete the project in 48 months’ time. The Chief Minister of Odisha will be laying the foundation stone for the metro project in January 2024.
