New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has flagged-off the Delhi-Faridabad Metro Line that would allow hassle free travel for around two lakh daily commuters between the national capital and the industrial hub in Haryana.
The extension of the Delhi Metro connects Badarpur to Escorts Mujesar in Faridabad.
The total cost of the project from Badarpur to Escorts Mujesar is nearly Rs. 2,500 crore. Out of this, Rs. 1,557 crore was borne by the Haryana Government, the Centre contributed Rs. 537 crore, while the Delhi Metro provided Rs. 400 crore.
All these are elevated and located on either side of the Delhi-Mathura Road (NH-2).
“The nine-station metro corridor which was 95 per cent indigenously built will provide people a safe, affordable, quick, comfortable, reliable, environment-friendly and sustainable transport facility,” a Haryana government spokesperson said.
Haryana Chief Minister ML Khattar, addressing a press conference on Saturday, had thanked the Prime Minister for “gifting” the Metro service which would take the city to “another level of progress” with better connectivity with other NCR towns.
He had also said that the Prime Minister would be announcing the go-ahead for connecting Gurgaon with Faridabad by Metro.
Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) in association with Metro Rail News (an initiative of Symbroj Media Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi) is going to organise the first edition of Smart Mobility Conference on 20 November 2017 at Federation House, Tansen Marg, New Delhi. A well-knit and coordinated system of transport plays an important role in the sustained growth of a country. Optimizing e-mobility use for everyday life with greater thrust on use of public transport, metro solutions and waterways as means for mass transit could significantly reduce energy demand and carbon emissions in the country.
The Conference focuses on ‘smart mobility’ solutions that enable faster, greener and cheaper transportation of people and freight while reducing congestion. Through focused sessions we aim to explore a future urban mobility ecosystem that delivers seamless intermodal transportation connectivity and highlights economic avenues for investment.
It will bring together Central and State Government officials, policy makers, city planners, government institutions, multi-laterals, financial institutions/VC’s, academia and Industry/ Start-ups on a common platform to deliberate on key developments and challenges for smart transport infrastructure in India and the way forward.
