The Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) has launched a renewed effort to enhance sustainable urban mobility by reviving designated cycling tracks across the city and improving infrastructure for non-motorised transport. The initiative comes as part of a broader push to promote eco-friendly commuting, reduce traffic congestion and encourage healthier lifestyles among residents. The civic body, in collaboration with Smart City officials and partners, plans to repair and expand existing cycle paths, install proper signage and safety features, and develop a more cyclist-friendly environment. This move also includes plans to rejuvenate the city's bicycle-sharing services, which had lost momentum in recent years, and to survey requirements for additional footpaths and lane networks.
The Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation has announced plans to revive and enhance cycling infrastructure across the city in an effort to promote sustainable, non-motorised urban mobility. The initiative, which aligns with the city's Smart City vision, aims to create safer, more accessible cycling tracks on selected roads and to upgrade existing paths that have deteriorated over time.

Under the revival plan, BMC, in collaboration with Smart City officials and technical partners, intends to repair and maintain designated cycling tracks, improve signage and safety features, and expand the network where feasible. The initiative also includes surveys to assess traffic patterns and demand for bicycle stations and pedestrian pathways, with a view to better meeting commuter needs and encouraging people to shift from motorised vehicles to bicycles for short- to medium-distance travel.
Part of this effort involves reviving the city's bicycle-sharing programme, which had fallen into disuse in recent years. By reintroducing a more reliable and well-maintained cycling service, BMC hopes to make non-motorised transport a viable and attractive option for residents, reducing congestion and environmental impact.
The move reflects a broader commitment to sustainable urban transport solutions in Bhubaneswar, supporting healthier lifestyles while contributing to reduced carbon emissions and congestion as the city grows.
