CHENNAI (Metro Rail News): Balaji Railroad Systems (BARSYL) has received a Letter of Acceptance (LoA) from Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) for preparing detailed feasibility reports (DFRs) for 3 different routes of new Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) lines proposed in Tamil Nadu.
In April, CMRL floated a tender for this contract with a 180 completion deadline. Technical bids for the contract were opened on 16 May. Furthermore, financial bids were opened on June 20, revealing that BARSYL is the lowest bidder for the contract.

CMRL has engaged Balaji Railroad Systems as the Feasibility Study Consultant for the 3 different routes proposed for new semi-high-speed rail lines in Tamil Nadu. The routes have been mentioned below:
Route | Length |
Chennai – Chengalpattu – Tindivanam – Villupuram | 170 Km |
Chennai – Kanchipuram – Vellore | 140 Km |
Coimbatore – Tiruppur – Erode – Salem | 185 Km |
The appointed consultants will evaluate alternative route options for each proposed Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) line, including the selection of station locations, depot placements, and effective integration points with existing transportation modes.
This study will determine whether the tracks will be constructed at ground level, elevated, or underground, as well as assess land requirements, environmental considerations, and overall project costs.
