Bhubaneswar Metro project starts work at precasting facility

Bhubaneswar Metro Rail Corporation Limited has begun work at its precasting facility, marking a significant step in the Metro project. This facility will produce precast structures for pillars and columns, speeding up construction of the 26-km elevated corridor. The Metro route will connect Biju Patnaik International Airport to Trisulia, featuring 20 stations. Travel times are expected to be 30 minutes between Cuttack and Bhubaneswar, 35 minutes to the railway station, and 45 minutes to the airport. The project is set for completion in December 2027. Alongside the Metro, a budget of Rs 13,000 crore has been allocated for new roads and flyovers to improve traffic flow in Bhubaneswar.
