en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Uttar Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation (UPMRC) has awarded a contract worth Rs 383.98 crore to Ranjit Buildcon Ltd. for the design and construction of a critical section of the Lucknow Metro Phase 1B project. This section involves an approximately 4.6 km elevated metro corridor between ThakurGanj and Vasantkunj, comprising five stations.

The scope of work includes the construction of viaducts, stations, and associated ancillary facilities, specifically covering Pre-Engineered Building (PEB) structures, architectural finishes, water supply and drainage, fire protection systems, and Electrical & Mechanical (E&M) works. Additionally, the contract includes a 740-meter ramp connecting the main viaduct to the depot entry and exit facilities. The project is scheduled for completion within 24 months from the date of commencement.

The five elevated metro stations are ThakurGanj, Balaganj, Sarfarajganj, Musabagh, and Vasantkunj.

This project is part of Lucknow Metro's expansion strategy aimed at improving public transport accessibility across the city. The metro line will connect densely populated areas with major transport hubs, helping to alleviate road congestion in the old Lucknow area and providing residents with fast and reliable travel options. As an electric public transport system, the operation of this line will also promote the clean energy transition and reduce carbon emissions in the urban transport sector.
