Great News: Meet 1st Indian city With Ropeway Service!

The oldest city in the world, Varanasi is set to become the first civilised city in India to have ropeway transport as a mainstream way of transportation.

Varanasi is all set to create history by becoming the first city in India to introduce a ropeway system as part of its public transportation network. This ambitious project aims to offer a modern, efficient, and eco friendly travel option in one of the country’s most crowded and historic cities.

The ropeway project will cover a total distance of 3.75 kilometers, connecting key locations in the city. It is designed to ease severe traffic congestion, especially in narrow and busy areas where road expansion is almost impossible. Once operational, the ropeway is expected to significantly reduce travel time for daily commuters and tourists.

The total cost of the project is ₹807 crore, reflecting the scale and advanced technology involved. The system will use multiple gondola cabins that can carry passengers smoothly above city roads, offering a safe and comfortable travel experience. This aerial transport solution is also expected to reduce pollution by cutting down the number of vehicles on the road.

Beyond convenience, the ropeway will add a new identity to Varanasi, blending modern infrastructure with its ancient cultural heritage. The project is seen as a model for other congested Indian cities, proving that innovative transport solutions can work even in densely populated urban spaces.

Once launched, the Varanasi ropeway is expected to become a landmark project in India’s public transport evolution.
