This extension will significantly improve connectivity and convenience, for commuters in Kanpur. In the process Kanpur will see a change in how the city perceives itself.
The new metro services extension in Kanpur, will make change the mobility landscape of Kanpur.
Urban Commuting is a vexed issue in modern India. The addition of a mere five Underground Metro Stations to Kanpur Transport and Mobility Landscape, will make it much easier and more efficient.
The extended line will connect key congested areas, making it more convenient for everyone to get around. Folks may remember the days when, Urban Town Planners and people were predicting the death of Connaught Place in New Delhi. But then the Delhi Metro changed everything.
This route, commencing from Kanpur Central Railway Station, all the way to IIT Kanpur, from - 15 January 2025 - will extend the existing daily operations of the Kanpur Metro through underground stations through the centuries old, most congested parts of Kanpur Nagar.
This extended route of Kanpur Metro has been a technically ambitious project, full of worry and amazement, for Kanpur Wallahs, the UPMRC and the state administration.
The project, managed by UP Metro Rail Corporation, involves the simultaneous development of two distinct corridors.
This route extension, will now add FIVE underground stations namely :
Kanpur Central Station connectivity to Kanpur Metro, effectively means that city commuters will be able to change at Kanpur Central Railway Station and take a direct Metro all the way to IIT Kanpur.
These UNDERGROUND Stations will seamlessly be connected, to the existing NINE Elevated Stations between IIT and Motijheel which have been operating for last few years, but with limited uptake by local commuters.
It is expected a single way journey from IIT to Kanpur Central will mormally be covered in 30 minutes.
This speaks volumes for the Infrastructure Project Management skills of UPMRC, the dedicated managers, engineers and the teams of workmen.
This is a truly inspiring story of the Infrastructure Story of Modern India in a Tier Two City of Uttar Pradesh.
