The project’s first segment weighing 60 MT was cast in November 2019, and the firm began launching segments in September 2020 between Piers 144-145 near Kendriya Vidyalaya Station on Hoshangabad Road.

Besides the elevated viaduct between Subhash Nagar – AIIMS, Dilip Buildcon will also be constructing an entry/exit ramp to Subhash Nagar Depot where fourteen 3-coach trains for the Purple Line will be stabled and maintained.

Stations en-route are being built by URC Construction through Package BH-02 and will be located at Shubhash Nagar, Kendriya Vidyalaya, DB City Mall, Sangam Cinema, Himansarovar / Habibganj Station, Habibgang Naka, Alkapuri Bus Stand and AIIMS.
