India’s First Neo Project – The PRT Corridor of Uttarakhand

IG Drones, a drone tech and analytics company, has secured a contract to survey the Uttarakhand Metro Rail Project, the country’s inaugural PRT corridor under the Neo Metro System.

The Neo Metro Project plans to build state-of-the-art rapid transit systems in Dehradun, Haridwar, and Rishikesh in the next four years to ease traffic congestion. The Personalized Rapid Transit Corridor or PRT is being developed under the Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS) that will link three cities– Haridwar, Rishikesh, and Dehradun. An initiative by the Government of Uttarakhand, the PRT Corridor project is anticipated to be completed by 2024 and seeks to offer world-class and state-of-the-art commuting. IG Drones will help prepare a Detailed Project Report (DPR) by surveying the project through high-tech drones. The company will employ domestically developed drones to conduct regular overview of the ongoing work progress on the ground.

The drones are equipped with advanced sensors capable of capturing high-resolution images, videos, and additional data from the ground. This collected data is then processed through IG One, their proprietary software, which offers in-depth technical insights and analytics. These analytics enable real-time tracking of the project’s progress. Drones are increasingly prevalent in infrastructure projects, valued for their efficiency, precision, and cost-effectiveness. They not only diminish the the reliance on manual labor but also result in significant time and cost savings. Their applications extend to surveying construction progress, assessing work quality, and identifying potential issues during the construction phase. Bodhisattwa Sanghapriya, Founder and CEO, IG Drones said, in a statement, “Surveying a metro rail project in such tough terrain is a challenging task in itself but we have the latest drone technology and software to monitor such projects in detail.
Leveraging sophisticated drone technology, our company will furnish comprehensive technical insights and analytics to government officials and regulatory bodies, facilitating real-time project tracking and enhancing safety and security measures.”

Pertinent to mention here that IG Drones is the leading Drone Tech and Analytics Company that has launched India’s first 5G Drone. In January this year, Ashwini Vaishnaw, the Minister for Railways, Communications, and Electronics & Information Technology unveiled Skyhawk, the nation’s inaugural 5G-enabled drone,by IG Drones. This drone is equipped with advanced sensors and artificial intelligence functionalities, rendering it suitable for diverse applications, spanning from border surveillance to use in medical and defence sectors. Backed by its state-of-the-art drone technology and a dedicated commitment to innovation, the company is well-positioned to take a leading role in the drone industry, playing a significant role in advancing India’s infrastructure development.

The company had also bagged the contract for Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train Project Surveying, earlier this year.
