Big news! Dehradun metro project is starting, a crucial step for better connectivity in Uttarakhand. The ambitious project, extending to Haridwar and Rishikesh, is on the verge of taking shape.

The survey, a pivotal starting point for the Dehradun metro project, is about to commence. IG Drones, a leading drone technology and analytics company, has secured the contract for the initial phase. Their task involves a comprehensive topographical survey, a crucial step towards the detailed project report (DPR) for the proposed Personalised Rapid Transit corridor (PRT) within Dehradun city.

The PRT corridor’s envisioned route covers Panditwari to the Railway station, Clement Town to Balliwala, and Gandhi Park to IT Park, promising enhanced connectivity across the city. Gopal Sharma, the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of Uttarakhand Metro Rail, shared that the PRT will play a vital role as a feeder line for the upcoming metro corridor in Dehradun.

Approved by the state cabinet in February 2022, the Dehradun metro rail project has been awaiting consideration at the Union government level. The initial phase outlines two metro lines: one from ISBT to Gandhi Park and the other from FRI to Raipur.

According to Uttarakhand Metro Rail, the survey is set to finish in two months, bringing the Dehradun metro project closer to reality.
