Patna Metro’s construction is advancing rapidly with major developments in the Priority Corridor. From ongoing OHE dropping between Zero Mile and Bhoothnath Stations and girder erection to high-level review meeting led by AMD of PMRCL, Smt. Abhilasha Sharma, the project is stepping closer to delivering a top-class transit system for the city. Speed, synergy, and precision define the mission.
Introduction:
The transformation of Patna’s urban mobility landscape continues to gain momentum as the Patna Metro Rail Project marks notable progress in its construction phases. With dedicated engineering efforts and multi-stakeholder collaboration, the metro system’s vision is steadily becoming a reality.
OHE and Girder Work in Full Swing:
One of the most visible signs of development is the Overhead Equipment (OHE) Dropping and Clipping work, which is actively progressing between Zero Mile and Bhoothnath Station, part of Blue line. This vital electrification step is a cornerstone for operational readiness and ensures seamless energy supply for the trains in the coming future.
Simultaneously, T and U girders are being installed with precision across the Priority Corridor. These structural components serve as the foundational elements of elevated metro tracks, and their erection signifies a major stride in civil infrastructure development.
Whether it is day or night, the construction sites remain abuzz with activity. Engineers, workers, machines, and project managers are contributing relentlessly to shape the future skyline of Patna. Each girder lifted and each cable secured brings the city one step closer to its mass transit dream.
Multi-Front Construction Efforts:
The project’s scope goes far beyond track laying and electrification. A multitude of parallel activities are underway, including-
- Pier construction
- Station development
- Steel structure fabrication
- Electrical and mechanical fit-outs
These crucial tasks are managed with strict adherence to quality and safety protocols, ensuring that every component integrates smoothly into the larger metro framework.
High-Level Review Meeting by PMRCL:
In a recent strategic review meeting, Smt. Abhilasha Sharma, IAS — Additional Managing Director of PMRCL and Joint Secretary, Urban Development and Housing Department — led a detailed progress evaluation of the Priority Corridor.
The session saw active participation from officials of Patna Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. (PMRCL), Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), and other key stakeholders. The agenda centered around reviewing ongoing progress, assessing future targets, and removing bottlenecks.
Smt. Abhilasha Sharma emphasized the importance of-
- Sticking to strict project timelines
- Promoting coordination between civil, electrical, and systems teams
- Fast-tracking key areas like station infrastructure and safety measures
- Her directives focused on strengthening inter-agency synergy and ensuring the execution meets international benchmarks in both quality and speed.
Conclusion:
With structural and electrical works progressing in tandem and senior leadership closely monitoring execution, the Patna Metro Project is truly on the right track. Every girder set and cable laid brings the promise of a reliable, modern transport system closer. The journey is long, but the momentum is unmistakable.
