The GSMST Project includes Construction of Gangwal School of Medical Sciences and Technology at IIT Kanpur, covers Package 1 and 2 and commenced on 03rd October 2023, with a revised completion date of 03rd June 2026. The project encompasses the SSH, Academic Buildings, Ancillary, and Engineering Yard. Since its inception, significant progress has been achieved in both foundational and superstructure elements, with execution maintaining a strong focus on quality, safety, and adherence to timelines.

In the SSH and Academic Building, most of the key construction activities have advanced considerably. The foundation work is 99% complete, with only minor finishing activities remaining. The superstructure stands at 94%, with the upper floors in the final stages and work above the terrace nearing completion. Blockwork has reached 87%, with mid-level floors progressing and lower floors almost complete. Plaster work has achieved 61%, mainly on the lower floors, with a planned ramp-up in resources. Internal waterproofing is 33% done,particularly in wet areas and shafts. Flooring work has commenced in the common areas and IPD, with an overall progress of 20%.

On the services side, electrical conduiting (surface) has reached 88%, progressing alongside blockwork up to the terrace level. Chamber and manhole work on the grade slab is 70% complete, a critical part of utility setup. Cable tray installation stands at 87%, with material readiness ensuring continuity. Sprinkler piping installation has reached 75%, actively progressing in shafts and corridors, while PVC conduit work is 86% complete, mainly in service areas. PIR ducting, essential for HVAC systems, is at 42%, with AHU floor levels under execution. In the Ancillary and Engineering Yard, the foundation work has progressed to 64%, with structural excavation and PCC work ongoing. Columns up to the plinth beam bottom have achieved 25% completion, and backfilling of earth stands at 11%, with continuous work in progress.

Overall, the GSMST Project is advancing steadily in accordance with the revised schedule. With early-stage civil activities nearing completion, the project focus is now shifting toward services, MEP installations, and interior works. Sustained momentum, effective coordination, and strong stakeholder collaboration are ensuring that the project remains on track for its target completion date of 03rd June 2026.
