Ministry of Railways Approves Ferozepur–Patti Rail Link Project

The Ministry of Railways has approved the Ferozepur–Patti Rail Link Project, which will span 25.72 km with a total investment of ₹764.19 crore, including ₹166 crore allocated for land acquisition costs that will be borne by the Railways.

Union Minister of State for Railways and Food Processing Industries, S. Ravneet Singh Bittu, announced this at a media briefing, highlighting the project’s strategic and economic significance for Punjab.

This new rail link will drastically reduce the distance between Ferozepur and Amritsar from 196 km to approximately 100 km,  and shorten the Jammu–Ferozepur–Fazilka–Mumbai corridor by 236 km. It will serve as a crucial link between the Malwa and Majha regions of Punjab, enhancing regional mobility and logistics efficiency.

Thanking Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, Bittu mentioned that the rail line will connect the Jalandhar–Ferozepur and Patti–Khemkaran corridors, offering a direct and alternative route close to the international border. 

The rail link will spur trade and industrial growth, reduce freight transportation costs, and improve access to agricultural markets, thereby boosting investment in education, healthcare, and essential infrastructure.

India’s First Pod-Taxi to Run in Maharashtra 

Maharashtra Government has approved India’s first-ever pod taxi project which is set to link Thane, Navi Mumbai, and Mira-Bhayandar. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) will oversee the feasibility studies and detailed planning for this project which aims at tackling growing traffic congestion across the region.

The project, initiated under the leadership of Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, will operate on a public-private partnership (PPP) model. While MMRDA will act as the nodal agency, private firms will bring in technical expertise and investment to ensure swift execution and advanced technology integration.

Pod taxis, also known as Personal Rapid Transit (PRT), are small, automated, driverless electric vehicles designed to carry two to six passengers at a time. Running on dedicated elevated tracks, these pods offer point-to-point service that eliminates intermediate stops and road interference.

Globally, pod taxi systems are already operating successfully in locations such as Masdar City (UAE), Heathrow Airport (UK), Suncheon City (South Korea), and Rivium (Netherlands).

Union Govt. Declines DPRs for Coimbatore, Madurai Metro Projects

Union Govt. Declines DPRs for Coimbatore, Madurai Metro Projects

The Union government has returned the detailed project reports (DPRs) for the proposed metro rail systems in Coimbatore and Madurai, citing that both cities fall short of the minimum population requirement under the Metro Rail Policy, 2017 for the establishment of metro system. Tamil Nadu submitted the comprehensive mobility plans and alternative analysis reports for the Coimbatore and Madurai metro projects in December 2024.

On 14 November, during a communication with the state government the Union ministry of housing and urban affairs returned the DPRs for both the projects stating that Coimbatore’s population, as per the 2011 Census, stands at 15.84 lakh, while Madurai’s is less than 15 lakh. The population of Coimbatore & Madurai are below the two million which is required under Clause D(ii)(a) of the 2017 policy to initiate metro planning. The communication from the Union ministry emphasized that metro projects are capital-intensive and must be planned carefully to ensure long-term sustainability.

However, Transportation activist Dayanand Krishnan questioned the decision, pointing out that cities such as Agra (15.5 lakh), Patna (16.8 lakh), and Bhopal (17 lakh), with similar population sizes have already received metro approvals. He added that the combined equity and subordinated debt component for the Coimbatore and Madurai projects amounts to about Rs 3,000 crore, requiring an annual central contribution of roughly Rs 750 crore, a relatively modest amount compared to other major infrastructure projects.

Transportation activist Dayanand Krishnan said “The Union govt has sanctioned larger projects elsewhere, including a high-speed rail system (bullet train) costing around Rs1 lakh crore, and rejecting the Tamil Nadu proposals on grounds of cost and population would deny transport benefits to a sizable commuter base,” as reported by Times of India. 

Officials from Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) indicated that the correspondence should not be seen as a final rejection. They confirmed that revised versions of the DPRs would be prepared and resubmitted after consultations with the state government and central agencies.

The Union ministry, however, suggested that both cities should focus on cost-effective alternatives like modernized bus systems and the implementation of bus rapid transit systems (BRTS). The communication also noted that Madurai’s comprehensive mobility plan, approved by the state, indicates that current travel demand would be adequately served by a BRTS rather than a metro.
