According to the reports, IG Drones, a drone tech and analytics company is going to survey the Uttarakhand Metro Rail Project. It is the inaugural Personalized Rapid Transit Corridor (PRT) corridor under the Neo Metro System.

  • 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.

Key Points

  • The PRT is being developed under the Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS) that will link three cities– Haridwar, Rishikesh, and Dehradun.
  • 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.
  • IG Drones is the leading drone tech and analytics company that has launched India's first 5G Drone- Skyhawk.
  • Drones are increasingly prevalent in infrastructure projects, valued for their efficiency, precision, and cost-effectiveness.
    • Their applications extend to surveying construction progress, assessing work quality, and identifying potential issues during the construction phase.
