Otis India Wins Patna Metro Deal for Nova Elevators

Otis India, a subsidiary of Otis Worldwide Corporation (NYSE: OTIS)—the global leader in elevators, escalators, and moving walkways—has secured a landmark contract to supply 65 Gen2® Nova (metro) elevators for Bihar’s first-ever metro system in Patna.

The elevators, to be manufactured at Otis India’s state-of-the-art facility in Bengaluru, will be installed across metro stations and depots, delivering seamless, reliable, and accessible vertical mobility for all passengers, including those with reduced mobility.

Otis will be responsible for the full scope of supply, installation, and maintenance of the advanced systems, which are designed to meet the highest standards of safety, innovation, and user accessibility.

Commenting on the win, Sebi Joseph, President, Otis India, said: "We are deeply honoured to be part of this transformative initiative and proud to support Patna’s infrastructure evolution. We thank the authorities for their trust in Otis and look forward to contributing to a future-ready public transport system. As a committed supporter of the Make in India programme, we are proud to deliver solutions that are designed and manufactured locally, driving both innovation and employment in the country."

The Patna Metro, a flagship urban transport project, is poised to revolutionise mobility in the state capital, featuring 26 stations and two lines spanning nearly 30 kilometres. Once operational, it will significantly enhance intra-city connectivity, modernise infrastructure, and support the state’s broader development goals.

Part of the Indian government’s multi-year, $16 billion national infrastructure investment strategy, the project underscores the growing importance of smart, efficient urban transit systems—including metro networks, airports, and railways—that rely on advanced vertical transportation solutions such as those provided by Otis.
