Otis India Secures Contract for New Patna Metro

Otis India, a subsidiary of Otis Worldwide Corporation (NYSE: OTIS) – the world's leading manufacturer of elevators, escalators, and moving walkways – has secured a prestigious contract to install 65 state-of-the-art Gen2® Nova elevator systems supplied by its Bengaluru factory for the Patna Metro project, the first in the state of Bihar.

Otis India will play a crucial role in transforming Patna’s public transportation by providing advanced vertical mobility solutions for metro stations and depots, ensuring seamless, safe, reliable and accessible movement for all passengers. Otis will supply, install, and maintain the elevators, which will also be equipped with accessibility features for people with reduced mobility.

Commenting on the project win, Sebi Joseph, President, Otis India, said: “We are deeply honoured to be a part of this transformative project in Bihar and to contribute to Patna’s growth. We are grateful for the trust placed in Otis to equip the project with our innovative elevator solutions and look forward to supporting the government’s efforts to provide an efficient public transportation system for the people of Patna. As a proud supporter of the Make in India initiative, Otis is committed to delivering world-class solutions that are designed and manufactured locally, fostering innovation and job creation in the country.”

The highly anticipated metro project will provide a modern and efficient transportation system for the residents of Patna and boost connectivity, update critical infrastructure, and advance mobility throughout the region, with a planned 26 stations and two lines covering approximately 30 kms across the state capital. The new metro line is a key component of the Indian government's high-priority infrastructure initiative, which spans several years and includes a $16 billion investment to expand metro transit systems, airports and railway networks, which will all rely on efficient vertical transportation systems.
