Assigning a deadline of November 2021 for trial runs, the metro authorities have accelerated the interventions on the priority corridor from IIT Kanpur to Motijheel. In alignment with this, the UPMRC concluded the casting works of a total of 439 double T-girders to be installed at the nine stations on the maiden route. It is noteworthy that the castings for these pillars were developed at the casting yard in Lucknow.

If Kanpur Metro succeeds in conducting trial runs by the end of November, it has planned to get the metro services opened for the public from January 2022 onwards. Shuttling commuters across the city, the facility aspires to evolve as the strongest component of the local transport after the start of its services.

Double T-girders erected at 8 out of 9 stations on priority corridor
