Tata Consulting Engineers Limited was appointed to deliver the concept and detailed design for Corridor 1 of the Agra Metro Project. TCE’s scope covered the planning and design of both elevated and underground sections, ensuring seamless technical integration across the corridor. The assignment included master planning and detailed design of the metro alignment, stations, viaducts, tunnels and the metro depot, along with architectural design that integrates modern transit requirements with Agra’s cultural identity. The design approach prioritised efficient passenger movement, safety, operational reliability and long‑term urban integration, while accommodating future expansion and minimising disruption within a congested city environment. As part of the elevated viaduct design, TCE introduced the ArchGirder, a pioneering solution in metro viaduct girder construction. The ArchGirder enhanced structural efficiency and visual quality while delivering approximately 12 percent cost savings, around 50 percent improvement in productivity and improved construction safety, alongside reduced traffic disruption during execution.
