Odisha Metro to Extend Line from Bhubaneswar Airport to SCB Hospital

The Odisha government has announced the extension of the Bhubaneswar Metro project from Biju Patnaik International Airport to SCB Medical College and Hospital in Cuttack. The expanded route will also cover the Cuttack bus terminal, offering improved access for daily commuters.

The original plan by the previous government proposed a metro line between Bhubaneswar Airport and Trisulia, a mid-point between Bhubaneswar and Cuttack. The revised alignment aims to address concerns about commuter utility by connecting key transit and healthcare hubs.

Housing and Urban Development Minister Krushna Chandra Mohapatra confirmed that a special committee, including top officials and experts, has been formed to recommend the best route for the extension. A fresh Detailed Project Report is now being prepared based on these findings.

The central government has agreed to co-fund the project, and the new state leadership under Chief Minister Mohan Majhi is prioritising timely execution. Phase one of the project spans twenty-six kilometres and is estimated to cost Rs 62.25 Bn. Construction began on November twenty, two thousand twenty-three, with completion targeted by two thousand twenty-seven.
