The Kanpur Metro Project has successfully deployed its third tunnel boring machine (TBM), "Parvati," at Rawatpur Station for Line 2. The 8.38 km corridor from Agriculture University to Barra-8 will be constructed with this machine.
TBM Parvati, a refurbished Herrenknecht earth pressure balance (EPB) machine, will complete significant tunneling tasks. The machine will carry out tunneling tasks, including a 750 mtrs. tunnel from Rawatpur to Kakadeo and a 700 mtrs. tunnel towards Kakadeo Station box.
The KNPCC-11 package, awarded in December 2023, is valued at Rs 7.62 billion and has a 30-month completion deadline.
