The 'Vidyarthi' TBM machine will be launched soon to complete the 'downline' tunnel.

The project involves the construction of an approximately 9 km long Priority Corridor (IIT-Motijheel) under Corridor-1 (IIT-Naubasta), along with underground sections between Chunniganj-Nayaganj and Kanpur Central-Transport Nagar. Work is also underway on the approximately 5 km-long Baradevi-Naubasta elevated section and the approximately 8.60 km long Corridor-2 (CSA-Barra 8).
