Govt plans to double the length of Visakhapatnam metro rail project

To mitigate the growing road traffic, the Andhra Pradesh government is doubling the length of Visakhapatnam metro rail project. Earlier, the Vizag project was proposed to be developed across three corridors. The state government is likely to go for retendering. In response to the earlier tenders, five shortlisted bidders had submitted their quotations in Q1 this year. And as per the predetermined schedule, the successful bidder should have been declared even before the general elections.
