The Odisha government has partnered with Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) to prepare a detailed project report (DPR) for the metro network that will serve the areas of Bhubaneswar, Khordha, Cuttack, and Puri. The first phase of the project will focus on the route from Biju Patnaik International Airport to Trishulia, covering key areas such as Master Canteen, Vani Vihar, Jaydev Vihar, Chandrasekharpur, Patia, Raghunathpur, and Nandankanan.
