We are awaiting the Centre’s nod for the second phase of Kochi Metro. All four corridors will be made available for the people of Kochi very soon. Within a few years, Metro will be the backbone of Kochi,” he said.

KMRL managing director Alkesh Kumar Sharma said the firm had decided to hand over the flats to 112 persons attached to KMRL’s operations and maintenance wing of KMRL.

“The wing’s employees need to be available round-the-clock. Hence, their residences near the office will improve efficiency and work culture,” said Sharma. Two 14-storey towers, named Ganga and Yamuna, housing a total of 112 residential units (four units per floor) have been built.

Individual residential units are 2BHK apartments spread across nearly 750 sqft. KMRL had engaged Fountainhead, a design consultant, to prepare the master plan and carry out the detailed design for the project. The two towers were built for Rs 49 crore.

Delhi Govt Nominees Should Be Appointed As Directors In DMRC

NEW DELHI (Metro Rail News): The Transport Minister of the Delhi government, Kailash Gahlot, on Monday, speaking at a press conference said, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) should appoint the government nominees as directors to the DMRC board.

He also urged the DMRC to refrain from taking any of the major decisions without representation of the state dispensation. He also added that the DMRC board has taken many crucial decisions and passed them without any consultation with the Delhi government.

“In DMRC, the Delhi government holds a 50% share and an equal share of the number of directors. Hence, DMRC should stop taking decisions without representation of the Delhi government. Seeking legal opinions on the government’s recommendations without deciding on the board meeting is also illegal. I am writing to the Managing Director of DMRC Mangu Singh to expedite the decision and appoint the government nominees to its board,” he added.

Last week, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) told the National Green Tribunal Thursday that construction of a commercial complex above Bhikaji Cama Place station was conceptualized in 2012. This came after a plea challenging the structure was filed in NGT.

DMRC told a bench headed by NGT Chairperson Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel that 13,332 square meter space was allotted by Land and Development Office on a permanent basis for the metro station ancillary structures and proposed property development against payment of Rs 15.65 crore.

Bhikaji Cama Place Metro station is strategically designed on the intersection of the ring road and Africa Avenue Road so that significant motorized traffic can be taken off the road, it said.

Mahim building tilts due to metro work in Mumbai

MUMBAI (Metro Rail News): On Monday, a building located on Mahim (West)’s LJ Road has tilted to one side and developed cracks. This had reportedly happened due to construction work at the Colaba-Seepz-Metro-3.

According to the source, Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC) said on Monday that a structural audit would be carried out to understand the extent of the damage. Other residential societies in the area have expressed concerns regarding the safety of their buildings.

The incident took place on November 9, when metro work was going on. Around midnight, the residents of Laxmi Niwas, which also has four commercial establishments inside it, felt their beds shaking and doors and windows rattling.

Later, ceilings started developing cracks too. One of the building’s residents said as per a Mumbai Mirror report that they heard a crash at night. In the morning they saw that the building had developed cracks after which the residents were told to vacate the building by November 10.

The members of all the 25 odd families staying at Laxmi Niwas have been temporarily moved to a nearby hotel by the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Limited (MMRCL).

The residents of other nearby buildings such as Saman Taj and Meher Manzil were also affected by the tremors due to the ongoing Metro work. Other residents of Laxmi Niwas have expressed displeasure with the incident.

An MMRCL spokesperson told the Mumbai Mirror, “Work on the Sitaladevi underground station is on. There was leakage and our team is on the job now, trying to plug it.”

RPC Technologies Australia Sets up Indian Capability with Triovision To Address Growing Demand in Rail Projects

RPC Technologies, an Australian-based Advanced Composites (GRP) engineering and manufacturing company, has engaged with Indian-based company, TrioVision Composites Technologies, to manufacture GRP parts for the growing Rail manufacturing sector for the both the local and international market.

RPC Technologies and TrioVision Composite Technologies can provide procurement, manufacturing and delivery of Composite Components for train including parts such as Front Masks, Cab Lining, Window Panels, End Walls, Gangways, Electrical Cubicles, Door Pillars, Toilet Modules and Seats.

RPC selected TrioVison for its in-country partner due to their reputation and experience in composites, their location in the same State as Alstom India, and their proven track record in the Transport sector.

Rather than establish a new plant in India, we searched for a local solution and found a like-minded organisation in TrioVision Composites Technologies. We immediately felt that TrioVision has the commitment to excellence, and high-quality service and ethics, and these are the factors we insist on in our business relationships. Combined with RPC’s engineering and manufacturing experience in Advanced Composites in the Rail sector, we are confident that we will deliver an outstanding product to several rail customers in India

Said Tony Caristo, Managing Director of RPC Technologies.

L to R: Nandan Reddy (Corporate Director, TrioVision), Tony Caristo (Managing Director, RPC), Sunil Yallapragada (Managing Director, TrioVision), Glenn Clifford (Business Development Manager, RPC)

RPC has assisted TrioVision in setting up a manufacturing facility in par with international standards to meet the most exacting needs both in terms of quality and on-time delivery. Customers can also benefit from RPC’s Indonesian manufacturing facility in Batam Island which can support TrioVision for quick production ramp-up support.

The contracts that are being discussed currently will see additional jobs created at Triovision with the first deliveries to be starting from January 2020 and the project being spread across to three years.

This is a unique opportunity for an Australian manufacturer commented Mr Caristo.

“It’s great that within a short time we could establish a plant with the proven RPC know-how and quality to support projects for the manufacture of Rail projects with international excellence in India. We are very excited to be working in India as the upcoming projects provide the opportunity to potentially work on GRP composite components for the Metro Trains worldwide rather than just for Australian trains. We look forward to a valuable exchange of ideas, technology and innovation.”

RPC has proudly delivered transport solutions for Australian and international customers for more than 30 years. They have played an important part in many of Australia’s most successful passenger rail systems including X’Trapolis and Sydney Metro with Alstom; Vlocity, Melbourne Trams with Bombardier Transport Australia; Waratah and Millennium trains with Downer, and OSCAR trains with UGL.

RPC provides end-to-end solutions from design engineering to component manufacture and assembly, along with maintenance, refresh and refurbishment for a vast range of passenger transport systems.

Bengaluru metro train network to get 300 Km by 2025

Bengaluru metro train network to get 300 Km by 2025

BANGALORE (Metro Rail News): An official said on Thursday that with about 70,000 vehicles choking the roads and causing gridlocks across the city, the Karnataka government has decided to extend the commuter service of the state-run Bengaluru Metro network to 300 km from 119 km at a whopping cost of Rs 30,695 crore.

An official in the Chief Minister’s Office told that “To ease the chaotic traffic across the city where about 80,000 vehicles choke the arterial roads, the state government has decided to extend the metro rail network to 300 km by adding 181 km in the third phase to reach satellites towns by 2025”.

The 43-km metro network in its phase-1 is being expanded by another 76 km in phase-2 at a cost of Rs 26,405 crore to provide efficient and punctual service to more commuters across the bustling city from 2021.

“As the Bengaluru Metro Rail Transport Corporation Ltd (BMRTCL) is a Centre-State funded project, we are approaching the Central government for its equity share and approvals to fast-track its third phase,” said the official who monitoring the project.

In phase-3, the service will be extended to Hoskote on the city’s eastern outskirts from K R Puram, up to Electronics City in the southern suburb from Silk Board under construction in phase-2, Ramangaram from Kengeri in south-west, and Nelamengala from Nayandanahalli in the north-west and to Devanahalli from M G Road station in the northern suburb, connecting the city with the airport, about 40 km away.

The official said, “An extended metro service and a 162-km suburban rail service will not only ease pressure on roads, highways, and flyovers but also minimize migration of people from towns and villages around the city to reduce pressure on the civic amenities”.

The metro services on the east-west and north-south routes ferry about 4-5 lakh citizens on the 43-km route, easing pressure on the state-run bus service plying across the city.

To promote public transport and discourage the use of cars and two-wheelers for commuting across the city, the state government has decided to hire about 6,000 buses to be operated by the state-run Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC).

The official said, “Bengaluru Mobility Management Authority will soon be set up to jointly regulate and maintain the traffic of buses, metro, and suburban rail services across the city”.

Chennai Metro rail’s phase 2 stations to be smaller but smarter

Chennai Metro rail’s phase 2 stations to be smaller but smarter

CHENNAI (Metro Rail News): Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) is going to build deeper and smarter stations. The concourse level and two tunnels for two lines will be stacked one above the other. The facility will be as deep as Central Metro at 28m to 30m, but less than half its length at 157m and one-fourth its width at 9m.

CMRL has decided to go with underground stations with a stacked-up platform design to save the cost of land acquisition at locations where the width of the roads are as narrow as 10m. Such stations could also be built faster and may cause less public inconvenience. A metro rail official said they have identified Pattalam, Perambur, Doveton, and Thirumayilai for such facilities.

Another four stations are being planned on corridor 4 from Light House to Poonamallee which will cut across Mylapore, T Nagar, Nandanam and Vadapalani.

An official said, “Why spend huge amounts of money to acquire properties and trouble people? Instead, we decided to optimize the space available and go deeper underground”.

All 128 stations in the 118.9km phase-2 planned may look and feel different from one another as CMRL is now simulating site conditions and projected ridership to generate a unique design for every station. Construction for the phase is expected to begin by June 2020 with a 52km taken up first and is likely to be ready by 2024-25.

At present, soil tests are being completed and detailed design for the stations is underway.

Compared to the standard station design that CMRL followed in the 45km phase-1, the detailed design consultants are now using computer simulation software to generate unique designs for each station based on the site condition and projected ridership. “In Pattalam and Perambur, the roads are as narrow as 10m or 11m. If we have to build stations like those in phase-1, we may have to acquire properties on either side of the road.

Also, at some locations, the daily footfall may be less than others. So, instead of cut-and-paste design, we will build according to our requirements,” a metro rail official said.

The stacked tunnels design is nothing new for Chennai. CMRL attempted the design in Central Metro, where two twin tunnels were built on two decks complete with a ticketing level on top. The mixed soil conditions with loose soil top and rock below, however, posed a huge challenge and CMRL took nearly six years to complete.

But soil tests conducted along corridor 3 between Madhavaram and Sholinganallur showed mostly loose soil up to 10m and charnockite rock below or clayey soil on top with the rock below. A top metro rail official said “Soil conditions are favorable. We have done a thorough soil for every 25m to 50m, so even if we come across rocks, we will use rock-cutting machines instead of tunnel boring machines”.

In its first month of operation Railways’ 1st private train, Tejas posts Rs 70 lakh profit

In its first month of operation Railways’ 1st private train, Tejas posts Rs 70 lakh profit

NEW DELHI (Metro Rail News): IRCTC’s Tejas Express has made a profit of around Rs 70 lakh till October this year while earning revenue of nearly Rs 3.70 crore through sale of tickets, sources said, signaling a steady start for the Railways’ first “privately” run train.

The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation’s Lucknow-Delhi Tejas Express is part of the Railways’ bid to develop 50 railway stations of world-class standards and allowing private passenger train operators to run 150 trains on its network.

The train has run with an average occupancy of 80-85 percent since it began operations on October 5, the sources said.

From October 5 to October 28 (21 days, as the train, runs six days a week), the expenditure incurred by IRCTC in running the train was around Rs 3 crore, they said.

The Railway subsidiary, which spent an average of nearly Rs 14 lakh per day to run the state-of-the-art train, earned around Rs 17.50 lakh daily from passenger fares.

The Tejas Express on the Lucknow-Delhi route is the Railways’ first experience of running a train by a non-railway operator and its own subsidiary IRCTC.

The IRCTC has a slew of benefits worked out for its passenger’s combination meals, free insurance of up to Rs 25 lakh and compensation in case of delays.

The government last month constituted a special task force comprising a group of secretaries to expedite the initiative on private train operation and station redevelopment projects. However, the first meeting of the group is yet to take place.

Delhi to Katra Vaishno Devi train a hit

-

11/11/2019

NEW DELHI (Metro Rail News): Piyush Goyal-led Indian Railways all-new engineless Vande Bharat Express train between Delhi and Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra has proven to be a big hit amongst passengers in the first month of its run. Train No 22439/22440 saw occupancy of over 95 percent- in both the directions between October 5 and November 4.

According to Indian Railways officials, the data indicates good patronage by passengers for the new Vande Bharat Express train. The new train was flagged off by Home Minister Amit Shah on October 3 this year, and it began commercial services from October 5.

According to official data, between October 5 to October 31, Train number 22439 NDLS-SVDK Vande Bharat Express did a total of 23 trips with 100% occupancy and net earnings of Rs 3.7 crore. On the other hand, Train number 22440 SVDK-NDLS Vande Bharat Express did a total of 23 trips with 96% occupancy and net earnings of Rs 3.5 crore in the same time period.

The Vande Bharat Express train to Katra also scored on another crucial parameter of Indian Railway’s punctuality. The semi-high speed train, which has a speed potential of 180 kmph, runs at a maximum speed of 130 kmph on this route. Out of the 27 trips from October 5 to November 4, the SVDK-NDLS Vande Bharat Express arrived in New Delhi 5 to 10 minutes ahead of its schedule on as many as 20 occasions.

In both directions, Train No 22439/22440 maintained its punctuality in 26 out of 27 trips, a remarkable achievement for the national transporter.

Train number 22439 NDLS-SVDK Vande Bharat Express leaves the New Delhi railway station every morning, except Tuesday, at 6:00 AM to reach Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra at 2:00 PM. En route, the train halts at Ambala Cantt, Ludhiana and Jammu Tawi for 2 minutes each in both the directions. In the return direction the same day, Train number 22440 SVDK-NDLS Vande Bharat Express leaves from Katra at 3:00 PM to arrive in New Delhi at 11:00 PM.

Indian Railways has kept IRCTC’s catering optional for passengers at the time of booking the tickets. The fare for the AC chair car seat between Delhi and Katra is Rs 1,630 (including meals) and Rs 3,015 (including meals) for the Executive chair car.

On the other hand, the fare for the AC chair car seat between Katra and Delhi is Rs 1,570 (including meals) and Rs 2,965 (including meals) for the Executive chair car. The semi-high speed self-propelled train set has reduced the travel time between Delhi and Katra to just 8 hours instead of 12 hours.

DMRC plans to revamp 280 Oldest metro coaches

NEW DELHI (Metro Rail News): Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) plans to begin major overhauls of total 280 coaches of Delhi Metro’s oldest corridor- Red Line (Rithala-Shaheed Sthal New Bus Adda) which is showing signs of wear and tear.

Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) will now begin a major overhaul of total 280 coaches. The Red Line coaches are nearly two-decade-old, which will not only be refurbished but also upgraded to bring them on a par with those deployed in other corridors.

Delhi Metro brought first coaches from South Korea in 2002 to start the operations on a small section of Red Line. The coaches were manufactured in India itself later. There are more than 40 six-coach trains deployed on the Red Line and many of these are 15 to 17 years old now.

The lifespan of a coach is 30 years. The refurbishment will ensure that the old coaches can be used efficiently for the next 13-15 years.

“The air-conditioning system will be refurbished and as part of the overhaul, we will also focus on floor repair, the section connecting two coaches, painting and suspension,” a DMRC official said.

“Trains on this corridor just have stickers to show the stations. These will be replaced with digital display panels,” he said.

“A major focus will be on overhauling of gangways — the partition between two coaches — that have seen the most damage. The overhaul will include 100% fabric and bellow replacement, cleaning and anti-corrosion measures,” the official added.

DMRC will repair the flooring of many trains, some coaches require complete floor replacement. “The floors of these coaches have been irreparably damaged and the replacement has been planned with the help of the original car builder,” he said. The corporation will also replace secondary suspensions in all trains.

The interiors of all these coaches will sport a new look, too, thanks to a paint job. “These 280 coaches will get a fresh layer of special water-based paint,” the official added. “The whole process of refurbishment will take 20 to 24 months,” he said. At present, the total number of commissioned trains in the metro network is 336, which are made up of 2,206 coaches. All Delhi Metro coaches undergo periodical preventive checks.
