Visakhapatnam Metro Rail project gains momentum

The project, originally proposed in 2014 under the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, is now moving swiftly toward execution, with the Andhra Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation Limited conducting a pre-bid meeting and inviting tenders to select a consultancy firm. The finalisation of this consultancy, scheduled for June 9, is expected to set the pace for the construction phase.

The Visakhapatnam Metro Rail Project is envisioned to provide a modern, efficient public transport system to the state's largest city and emerging financial hub. Though it received in-principle approval from the Union Government in 2015, the project has seen multiple delays over the past decade, under both the TDP and YSRCP governments.
