Moscow to finance Eco-Initiatives with Green Bonds

MOSCOW, RUSSIA (Metro Rail News): Funds obtained from the placement of green bonds are channelled to projects to develop urban transport infrastructure, which will help reduce emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gas, declares Moscow Deputy Mayor for Transport Maksim Liksutov.

The money from the green bonds will help build 18 new stations and more than 43 km of the Big Circle Line of Moscow Metro and reconstruct 3 more stations and 4 km of Moscow Metro lines – Maksim Liksutov. 

Deputy Mayor added that the launch of the Big Circle Line would allow some Muscovites to abandon personal transport and underlined those 10 thousand fewer cars in Moscow would result in 20 thousand tons less CO2 per year. Moreover, Moscow uses the bond funds to purchase 400 e-buses, 100 of which are already in operation.

Replacing one bus with an electric bus reduces air emissions by 190-260 kg per year and CO2 emissions by an average of 60 tons per year. Moreover, it means that we will breathe even cleaner air in Moscow, which is very important for the immunity of adults and children – Maksim Liksutov.

On September 22, Moscow presented an installation at Nizhegorodskaya metro station (Big Circle Line) dedicated to the Green Bonds project. The construction of the station was financed with funds obtained from the placement of green bonds. Its passenger flow is expected to reach more than 40 thousand people per day by 2023.

We emphasize that the metro is an ecological transport that does not pollute the air and is safe for the environment. The funds from the bonds are channelled into important urban projects that significantly improve the living standards of Muscovites and make urban mobility even safer – Maksim Liksutov.

In May 2021, the placement of the first issue of Moscow’s green bonds worth 70 billion rubles began on the Moscow Exchange. As a result, the volume of purchase orders exceeded the supply by 1.2 times. Funds from the placement of such bonds will be used for environmental projects.

GREATER NOIDA, INDIA (Metro Rail News): On Wednesday, Metro officials announced that the Greno West metro work would start from December 2021. The tender has also been issued to select the operating company. The DPR of the project has already been prepared and sent to the Central Government. With the start of the metro train, Greno West will also connect Delhi-NCR. As of now, there is no public transport facility on this route. Hence, UP CM Shri Yogi Adityanath can lay its foundation stone. 

The new route will be about 15 KMs. In the first phase, five metro rail stations work will be started. This metro train work started from Diwali earlier, but due to Corona-Lockdown, this plan got delayed. As a result, this route will be fully elevated.

It is worth noting that the metro route from Noida Sector-51 to Greater Noida West is 15 KMs but will start from only 5 metro stations. All the 5 stations will connect Sector-122, Sector-123, Greater Noida Sector-4, Greater Noida Sector-2, and Ecotech-12 Greater Noida West. However, 9 stations are to be completed on this entire route. With the commencement of the Greater Noida West Metro Line, the West sectors will connect the Aqua Line of Greater Noida and the Blue Line of the Delhi Metro.

According to the given information, the cost of this entire project is approximately Rs. 1100 crores. The entire route of Metro Rail starting from Noida Sector-51 to Greater Noida West Knowledge Park-5 will be elevated. But Rs. 492 crores will already be spent on civil work.

This project was approved in 2019, but it was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdowns.

J&K Govt. has submitted DPR to MOHUA for Metro Lite Rail Project in Srinagar

SRINAGAR, INDIA (Metro Rail News): On Saturday, Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) government has submitted the revised Detailed Project Report (DPR) of metro lite rail for Srinagar and Jammu cities to the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MOHUA) for approval and funding purposes.

However, according to the given information, MOHUA asked the J&K government to rework the project and suggested some inputs be incorporated in the revised DPR.

On 12th June 2021, the railway consultancy firm RITES submitted a revised detailed project of Rs. 9846 crores for metro lite rail in Srinagar and Jammu.

“The revised DPR was submitted in July, whereafter it had been again posed to MOHUA for approval and funding. Inter-ministerial consultation and PIB approval will take about three (3) months, while the construction period is 54 months. The elevated metro lite proposed for Srinagar is 25 KMs at Rs. 5733 crore and for Jammu is 23 KMs at Rs. 4113 crores. As a result, the cities are going to be given the ‘best in class” mobility in terms of safe, reliable, convenient, and sustainable conveyance,” said officials.

“J&K administration awaited the union cabinet’s nod for the project. We have submitted the proposal for the metro rail, and therefore the Housing and concrete Development Ministry has circulated the cupboard note during this regard,” on the sidelines of a function held here about making Srinagar polythene-free, said Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha.

“Once all the departments comment on it, it will be sent to the PMO, and the cabinet will approve it. After it’s approved, we’ll start the tendering process,” he added.

According to the project report, the metro rail projects in these Twin Cities, i.e., Srinagar and Jammu, are pegged to cost over Rs. Nine thousand (9000) crores and are expected to finish by 2024 once approved by the concerned bodies.

“The railway consultancy firm RITES has submitted the ultimate detailed project reports for the projects expected to be completed by the top of 2024. Once the projects are completed, Srinagar and Jammu will become the first two non-major cities in the country to have the rapid transport network functional,” said officials.

In DPR, a low-cost, elevated light rail transit system is proposed to run 17 Hours. A day around the year in Jammu, whereas in Srinagar, it will run 17 hours. Daily during summers. And 14 hours. For winters. However, due to the hilly area, only an elevated light rail system is feasible. Hence, no underground tunnels would be built.

According to J&K government officials, Jammu Metro lite Rail will be 23-kilometre long with 22 stations between Bantalab and Bari Brahmana. In contrast, Srinagar light rail system will have a 25 KMs length which incorporates 12.5 KMs length from Indira Nagar to HMT junction and 12.5 KMs length from Hazuri Bagh to Osmanabad with 24 stations.

The elevated metro system would facilitate people and positively impact the economy and the quality of life. The metro coaches would be modern, lightweight, and made of chrome steel and aluminium, with an air-conditioning system.
