Systra has been awarded a contract to develop new detailed design studies for the Patna Metro in the state of Bihar, northeast India.
This project follows on from the simulation study and detailed design consultancy previously carried out by Systra India for Patna Metro.
The contract covers two sections of the line with a total length of 10.4 km as part of the Patna metro project and represents the underground sections of Line 1 (Red Line), which connects Mithapur Ramp to Rukanpura Ramp via twin tunnels and six underground stations.
Working for Hindustan Construction Company (HCC) on behalf of Patna Metro Rail Corporation Limited, the Systra team in India will be responsible for the design of all six underground stations, as well as access and exit structures and other associated structures such as ancillary buildings.
The Red Line will be built on an east-west axis and will have a total length of 18.5 km with 15 stations, connecting Danapur Cantonment to Khemni Chak, via Patna Central Station.
The city has a population of approximately 2.5 million and is located in northeastern India. To ensure high-capacity mobility that is also sustainable, the authorities are building the metro system.
The Patna Metro crosses the city center and will connect densely populated neighborhoods, providing seamless connections to railway stations and the interstate bus terminal (ISBT).
The first phase of the Patna metro network was inaugurated in October 2025, covering a distance of 3.6 km with three stations between the Patliputra bus terminal and Bhoothnath station. This is the first section of the Blue Line, which will run north-south with a length of 16.2 km and 12 stations. It will start from the Patliputra bus terminal (at the southern end of the line) and reach Patna Central Station (the northern end of the line), offering a 24-minute journey.
The metro network plan includes the construction of two lines (the Blue Line and the Red Line), which together will have a length of 32 km, with 25 stations, two of which will be transfer stations.
