Patna Metro

Patna Metro is the rapid transit system taking shape in the capital of Bihar. It is under construction, with the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation carrying out the build, and it will give the city its first modern rail-based transit across two planned corridors.

The network

The project is planned as two corridors that cross the city and meet at an interchange, mixing elevated and underground sections. Together they will link major destinations such as the railway station, bus terminal and the growing residential and institutional areas on the outskirts. A priority stretch is being built first to open ahead of the full network.

Operator and what comes next

DMRC is executing the construction, with a dedicated state corporation set to operate the system once it opens. Current work covers civil construction, tunnelling and station building along the priority section. Contract awards, tunnelling milestones and station updates arrive as the project advances.
