Visakhapatnam- the City of Destiny, a port city on the Bay of Bengal and a major tourist centre in Andhra Pradesh, is poised for a transportation revolution with its new metro system, and SYSTRA has been chosen as the lead engineering partner to deliver this transformative project.

SYSTRA is strengthening its footprint in India with a new metro in Visakhapatnam, more commonly known as Vizag. The Andhra Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. (APMRCL) awarded the contract to SYSTRA following a competitive international bidding process.

As the project’s Engineer, our teams will oversee end-to-end delivery, including:

  • Planning & design coordination,
  • Tendering & contract administration,
  • Construction supervision and commissioning the project.

Asia’s longest bi-level viaduct

Construction scheduled to commence this year in October, this landmark project features one of Asia’s longest bi-level viaduct – an engineering feat that optimizes urban land use, minimizes community disruption, and showcases innovative space-saving design.

The first phase of the Visakhapatnam Metro will feature three strategic lines, followed by a second-phase extension connecting to the upcoming Bhogapuram International Airport. With this project, the authorities aim to support the development of the region, which aligns with the region’s emergence as a major financial hub and a key technological centre in India, to improve urban mobility with a modern network and to reduce road congestion.
