Patna Metro’s Priority Corridor Set for September Trial, October Launch Expected

The much-awaited Patna Metro is finally moving full steam ahead. The 14.45 km Blue Line (Corridor II) from Malahi Pakri to New ISBT is on track for trial runs starting around September 20, with an official public opening expected in October, pending final inspections.

Patna Metro Rail Corporation (PMRCL) confirmed that the initial security checks and station finishing touches are nearing completion. 

The six elevated stations along the corridor, including Malahi Pakri, Bhootnath, Zero Mile, and Patliputra ISBT, are structurally complete, with electrification and system integrations in the final stages.

The extension of connectivity is expected to ease traffic congestion and provide a modern commuting alternative for residents. 

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is also expected to inaugurate the corridor this September, according to local sources, promoting optimism for a swift and successful launch.

Once operational, this corridor will serve as the backbone for future extensions, setting the stage for a more extensive Patna Metro network, easing transportation across the city and connecting key urban nodes.
