Assystem in India is proud to contribute to the development of Bhopal’s infrastructure through its involvement in the Bhopal Metro project. As part of this transformative initiative, Assystem is providing consultancy services for architectural finishes, civil and structural work, and MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) services for the design and construction of eight elevated metro stations, including viaduct portions and transition spans.

Known as the Bhoj Metro, the Bhopal Metro is a rapid transit system designed to cover 104.87 kilometers across six corridors. The first phase of the project focuses on 28 kilometers across Lines 2 and 5, with a combination of on-road, elevated, and underground sections.

Assystem’s role in this ambitious project encompasses:

  • Preparation of comprehensive engineering designs as outlined in the RFP for architectural, structural, and MEP services.
  • Development of detailed general arrangement drawings, including bearing locations.
  • Creation of construction drawings for all works within Assystem’s scope.
  • Obtaining design approvals from the Design Verification Team and the General Consultant.
  • Preparation and submission of As-Built Drawings to ensure seamless project documentation.
  • Delivery of all design and construction outputs on a BIM platform for enhanced efficiency and integration.
  • Periodic site visits to provide technical support during various construction stages.

The project aims to establish Bhopal as a safer, more business-friendly city with low-carbon, climate-resilient urban infrastructure. By improving access to amenities and employment opportunities, the Bhopal Metro will play a pivotal role in the city’s development.

  • The project will create jobs during both construction and operations, significantly boosting the local economy.
  • The metro will streamline urban mobility, leading to shorter travel times and lower transportation costs for daily commuters.
  • By reducing vehicular traffic, the metro will lower emissions and contribute to cleaner air in Bhopal.
  • The metro system will ease congestion on the city’s roads, enhancing the overall quality of life for residents.
  • The metro will serve as a catalyst for modernizing the city’s infrastructure, promoting urban development and economic activity.
  • Designed with sustainability and efficiency at its core, the Bhopal Metro reflects a commitment to environmentally responsible urban planning.

Assystem’s expertise in delivering complex engineering solutions aligns perfectly with the vision of the Bhopal Metro. By integrating innovative design methodologies and sustainable practices, Assystem is helping shape a future-ready Bhopal.

Abhijeet Desai, Divisional Head, Buildings & Architecture said, “The Bhopal Metro is not just a transportation project – it is a transformative step toward redefining urban living, fostering economic growth, and ensuring a greener future for the city and its residents.”
