SURAT (Metro Rail news): Surat Metro Rail Corporation (SMRC) held its first meeting under the newly-appointed managing director (MD) M Thennarasan in Surat on Tuesday.

The meeting is a weekly process designed to solve issues so that SMRC can begin work to lay first 10 km of rail lines from Dream City to Kadarshala Naval. After the meeting, Thennarasan said, “We are in process of finalizing the alignment near Sarsana convention center. Once that is through, tenders will be issued.”

In the initial phase, work on 10 metro rail stations on elevated rail costing roughly Rs 250 crore per station will be taken up.

Surat metro rail project is a Rs 12,020 crore project, under which, 40km metro rail infrastructure in two corridors will be set up in three year time.

Under the revised Detailed Project Report (DPR), development of four of the 38 rail stations on 40.35km-long two corridors will be done by the local body on a PPP basis.

The cost of development of a station is estimated at Rs 111 crore. The four elevated stations that SMC will develop include Rupali Canal and Althan Tenement stations on corridor no-1 and Aquarium and Athwa Chowpatty stations in corridor no-2. “By the sale of additional FSI, SMC to develop around four stations.

We will look at an additional income of Rs 1,343 crore. SMC will get private partners for the development of all the four stations,” said an SMC official.

2,465 travel by every Metro train in Kolkata against 1,110 in Delhi

2,465 travel by every Metro train in Kolkata against 1,110 in Delhi

KOLKATA (Metro Rail News): The inadequate expansion of the Metro network in Kolkata over the last 35 years and its inability to keep up with the city’s burgeoning population have emerged as the key reasons for the daily struggle to get onto overcrowded Metro rakes, something that claimed a commuter’s life last Saturday.

Kolkata Metro started its journey in 1984 with a service that ran for 3.4km; three-and-a-half decades later, it continues to run in a straight line, for 27.2km.

The population, however, has grown by almost half-a-crore. The 1981 Census showed 91.9 lakh people stayed in the urban conglomerate comprising Kolkata and its neighboring areas, the latest pegged the urban conglomerate’s population at 1.4 crores.

The numbers seem even more inadequate when the load that an average Kolkata Metro rake bears is compared with the average passenger load of a Delhi Metro rake. Each service in Delhi carries an average of 1,110 people, whereas in Kolkata each service carries 2,465 people.

“All these numbers go to explain why Sajal Kanjilal — and lakhs of other commuters — continue to force their way on to overcrowded trains, ” a senior Metro Railway official said on Tuesday. “Many commuters may not be seeking to save time. They just feel that the next service maybe even more crowded,” he added.

What Delhi Metro has added since its first run in 2002 reinforces what Kolkata’s Metro has been denied. Delhi’s Red Line started with an 8.3-km run, in 2002, between Shahdara and Tis Hazari. Seventeen years later, it has eight color-coded lines running across 343 km. The tracks carry 2,700 services daily that, in turn, carry about 30 lakh commuters.

Kolkata’s single line laid out over 27.2 km, runs 284 services daily, which carry 7 lakh passengers daily. “So each Delhi Metro service carries an average of 1,111 people whereas, in Kolkata, each service carries 2,465 people,” another senior Metro official said, explaining the difference between Delhi and Kolkata and the latter’s crowd behavior. Officials also add that commuters should not expect things to change in a hurry on the north-south corridor.

Officials also say our Metro will never be able to run trains at below-four minute intervals because of technical reasons. And, even if it is feasible to run 350-400 services a day, at least 35 rakes in working order will be needed for that.

The fate of Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam metros uncertain

The fate of Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam metros uncertain

VIJAYAWADA (Metro Rail News): Despite provisional allocations in the recent budget, the fate of Vijayawada and Visakhapatnam metro rail projects still remains uncertain as the YSR Congress regime is yet to announce its policy concerning them.

While both the projects are put on the back-burner for the moment, a decision regarding their implementation is expected soon.

In the budget, the State government proposed an allocation of Rs 10 crore towards urban development assistance to both the projects, while another Rs 3.6 crore was earmarked for Amaravati metro rail.“A provisional allocation has been made, but we haven’t received any information on how the State government wants to proceed with the execution. As of now, things have been put on hold as a policy decision is awaited,” a senior official source explained.

Even a meeting scheduled with Systra Group, which is preparing detailed project reports of the proposed rapid transit systems, stands postponed, the official added.

With the Korea Export-Import Bank (KEXIM) backing off from extending financial assistance for the Visakhapatnam project, the officials are left in the lurch, once again, to look for a funding agency. While they said they would approach other international borrowers, Finance Minister Buggana Rajendranath’s proposition, in his budget speech, of going for a monorail in Visakhapatnam has further cast clouds on the proposed metro.

Sources in the MAUD department said the new government might go ahead with the projects only if Central funds could be tapped for their implementation. “The question is: are these projects, which in the present form are estimated to cost over Rs 15,000 crore each, really needed when the State is undergoing a financial crisis? The decision will be taken at a review meeting to be held soon,” another official explained.

For the record, even though the detailed project reports of both the metros were submitted long ago, the Centre, after introducing a revised metro rail policy in 2017, directed Andhra Pradesh to resubmit them.
However, the previous State government, reluctant to do so, had explored various PPP models.

With the Centre repeatedly mentioning that the State did not submit the DPRs, the Amaravati Metro Rail Corporation had planned to send fresh proposals.

Rachna, Prerna head back home after the boring tunnel under Hooghly

Rachna, Prerna head back home after the boring tunnel under Hooghly

KOLKATA (Metro Rail News): After eight years, it’s time for Prerna and Rachna to bid farewell to Kolkata. The two German Herrenknecht-made tunnel boring machines—TBM S640, christened Prerna and TBM S639 named Rachna—that dug the East-West Metro tunnels under the Hooghly, joining Howrah to Kolkata, was given a formal send-off at Curzon Park by those involved in the first phase of the Metro tunneling.

“I don’t think anyone has ever heard of TBMs getting a farewell. But Rachna and Prerna are special to us,” said Satya Narayan Kanwar, project manager, Afcons-Transtonnelstroy, executing agency for East-West Metro’s underground tunneling from Howrah Maidan to Esplanade.

Afcons engaged the two TBMs in October 2011 to burrow under the Hooghly riverbed, giving Kolkata its very own Channel Tunnel. The journey, however, stopped before it began. Stuck in a route realignment impasse, the mega borers lay idle at Howrah Maidan for five years, until the nod was given to start mining from March 2016.

In May 2018, Prerna and Rachna covered 3.8km to reach their destination —Esplanade—negotiating not just the riverbed, but also crumbling buildings on Brabourne Road and Dalhousie and heritage structures, like Writers’ and Currency Building. But even after the work was done, the two TBMs could not be taken away immediately and were parked below Curzon Park.

The shaft to extract the borers couldn’t be built as Army, the custodian of Maidan, delayed handing over land to the implementing agency, Kolkata Metro Rail Corporation (KMRC), which, in turn, failed to give the site to ITD ITD-Cementation, contracted to build the Esplanade-Sealdah part of the tunnel. In the absence of the retrieval shaft, only back up parts and gantries of the TBMs —each around 90m long— were disassembled and wheeled through the 3.8km tunnels and extracted bit-by-bit from the Howrah Maidan station. The main parts, each 9m long and weighing 320 tonnes, remained buried under Curzon Park. Afcons moved the HC, demanding compensation for the machines lying idle.

KMRC told the court the shaft would be ready by July 31. But it was built before that and Afcons started pulling out the machine parts with a 160-tonne capacity crane. The heaviest component (92 tonnes) was taken out first. The last part, the 94-tonne front shield of Rachna, was fished out on Sunday. Afcons engineers, sporting saffron safety jackets and yellow helmets, lined up around Rachna’s front shield and raised a victory salute. “We share a special bond with Prerna and Rachna. We are happy they could be retrieved before the deadline,” said KMRC MD Manas Sarkar.

Metro trains can operate at two-min intervals

Metro trains can operate at two-min intervals

NAGPUR (Metro Rail News): MahaMetro is installing the latest technology so that trains can depart from every station at the two-minute interval. This will, however, happen years later, when the high ridership demands such a high frequency of trains.

MahaMetro managing director Brijesh Dixit while addressing a press conference on Monday said they were using communication-based train control (CBTC), automatic train operation (ATO), and automatic train protection (ATP) technologies, which were the latest in the world.

Dixit said, normally our trains will operate on a driverless enabled system. The drivers will only be there for emergency purposes. If the driver wants, he can take control of his hands. In that case, the ATP system will ensure that he operates the train properly.

The MD further said that CBTC, ATO and ATP systems would become fully operational by August-end. “We will get the approval of Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety (CMRS) for this purpose,” he added.

Explaining the difference between Indian Railways and Nagpur Metro, he said the former used a fixed block system while the latter was using moving block system. “If you use a fixed block system, the interval between two trains is minimum 10 to 15 minutes.

In the moving block system, the interval can be as less as two minutes,” he added. In CBTC, the train communicates with equipment installed along the track and the main control room. “There are three components — train antennae, wayside antennae, and the main control room.

A software operates the trains due to which it moves at a predetermined speed and halts at the designated spot on the station platforms,” said Dixit.

CBTC is used only in a few Metros, including Hyderabad and Kochi. Delhi Metro has now started using it gradually on different lines. Nagpur Metro had decided to use CBTC right from inception. Currently, however, the trial of the technology is going on and trains are being operated manually. There is no chance of people getting stuck in the doors of Nagpur Metro. “Even if there is a 5-centimeter gap between the two doors they will open and close again. This will happen three times and if the obstruction does not get removed, the doors will not close again and the train will not move,” said Dixit.

DMRC begins trial run on Dwarka-Najafgarh Metro corridor

NEW DELHI (Metro Rail News): On Monday, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) began trial runs for the 4.29-km Dwarka-Najafgarh Metro corridor. Senior Metro officials said that by September the corridor, known as the Grey Line, is likely to be thrown open to the public.

During the trial run, the interaction of the Metro train with the civil structure will be checked to ensure that there is no physical blockage during the movement of the train on the tracks, said by DMRC in a statement.

The statement added the signaling trials are expected to begin in the days to come.

The Grey Line will comprise three stations — Dwarka, Nangli and Najafgarh. While Dwarka and Nangli stations are elevated stations, the Najafgarh station is underground. The Delhi Metro will also add a 1.

18-km extension to this section, taking the line till the Dhansa Bus Stand. The work for this extension is underway and is likely to be completed by December next year.

This will be the first time the Delhi Metro enters rural sections of Najafgarh. The Grey Line will be connected with the Blue Line, which connects Dwarka Sector-21 to Noida Electronic City and Ghaziabad’s Vaishali in Uttar Pradesh.

The existing Dwarka station will be connected via an 80-meter passage connecting the old station on the Blue Line to the new corridor.

Additional parking facilities have also been provided outside the Dwarka station, adhering to the multi-modal integration (MMI) model, to accommodate the increased traffic in the area.

Official DMRC estimates show that nearly two lakh commuters are likely to benefit from the new section.

A senior DMRC official said, Earlier, commuters from Najafgarh had to come till Dwarka to take the Metro. Now, they can access the line from Najafgarh and reach Dwarka station. This area is not very well connected by public transport, so the Metro will ease commuting woes to a great extent.

AIRF opposes Railways to purchase trains

AIRF opposes Railways to purchase trains

DELHI (Metro Rail News): On Sunday All India Railwaymen Federation (AIRF) working president N. Kannaiah said that buying trains is not a viable proposition as it would not only burden the organisation financially but cost thousands of employees of their jobs in the long run.

The making of Train18 (Vande Bharat Express), and Tejas Express rakes are examples of how our production units can deliver world-class products. The production capacity of ICF increased from 1,437 coaches per year in 2009-10 to 3,200 coaches in 2018-19. But the manpower has been drastically cut.

Reacting to the idea of the Railways to buy train sets, EMU and MEMU from private players, he said production units such as the Integral Coach Factory, Chennai, and Modern Coach Factory, Rae Bareli, had state-of-the-art technology and infrastructure.

Buying a readymade train from private firms is not new to the Railways. The trains run by Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) were procured as a complete set from Alstom that has a facility in Sri City.

“But, procurement from trade, whether imported or indigenous, has always been at exorbitant prices. In fact, in all Metro tenders, the production units of Indian Railways were kept out by cleverly making the international experience one of the criteria for consideration. Ironically, efforts for making Metro coaches under the Make in India initiative are being scuttled by specifying international experience as an eligibility norm. Now, with the procurement of trainsets from the trade it looks like the end of the road for Railways’ in-house production units”, the official added.

The cost of Train18 rake in the global market is ₹245 crore whereas ICF engineers rolled out the train at a cost of ₹97 crore,” he said.

Alleging that the Chairman, Railway Board, was going back on his assurance that there would be no more privatisation when a delegation of ARIF leaders met him in New Delhi recently, he said corporatisation was the first step towards privatisation.

“We also make coaches for the Indian Army and several neighbouring countries. The manpower, infrastructure and technology of ICF is among the best in the world and the current target is to roll out 4,000 new coaches,” a senior ICF official said. A majority of union leaders, officials and staff was opposed to the privatisation policy of the railways.

“They (the railway management) have now decided to hand over two trains in each zone to private parties. I am told that the Delhi-Lucknow-Delhi and Chennai-Madurai-Chennai Tejas Express trains would be given away on lease for ₹60 crore each.

“The next step would be to give away the Vande Bharat Express...how can they give away profit-making trains,” he wondered.

Mr. Kannaiah, who is also the general secretary of Southern Railway Mazdoor Union, said the spirit of ‘Make in India’ initiative was to protect and promote local talent in national growth and not bring in multinational companies to manufacture and deliver their products here.

He said, “The AIRF which has about 10 lakh members in 16 zonal railways and 7 production units will go all out to prevent further privatisation of the Indian Railways. This is a income generating organisation.”

NHSRCL plans to charge extra for baggage from passengers

NHSRCL plans to charge extra for baggage from passengers

Delhi (Metro Rail News): Passengers travelling on India’s first superfast bullet train may have to pay for the luggage they check in. To discourage travellers from carrying heavy luggage, the National High Speed Rail Corporation (NHSRCL), which is executing the project linking Mumbai and Ahmedabad, plans to charge them for the bags they check in.

Every coach in the train will contain sufficient space for hand baggage. In the last coach, however, some seats will likely be removed to make space for the extra check-in luggage, for which passengers may have to pay extra — a first for a train in India.

The introduction of the country’s first bullet train, known as the Shinkansen in Japan and expected to be operational in 2022, will mark India’s shift to an era of high-speed trains capable of hitting speeds of up to 350 kilometres per hour.

According to NHSRCL, the Japanese are used to travelling light and on their bullet trains, no extra space is kept apart for check-in luggage. The trains meant for India will be redesigned to accommodate luggage.

Achal Khare the managing director of NHSRCL said that basically the idea is to discourage {passengers from carrying} heavy luggage There has to be some kind of control. The idea is not to earn money from people. If we allow it free, there will be no control. There will also be specified dimension for both hand and check-in baggage.

The Narendra Modi government has set an ambitious deadline of completing the project by August 15, 2022, when India marks 75 years of Independence. NHSRCL, however, expects to open a section of the network by then and complete it by December 2023.

Khare said that to start with, we will have 24 train sets of which 18 will come from Japan while six will be manufactured here. But when we say it will be manufactured in India, it means not 100% as critical parts will still come from Japan.

Like the Shatabdi trains, bullet train coaches will have overhead bins for storing hand baggage.

Khare further added that this is different from Japan as they don’t have the culture of taking heavy luggage. We are planning to create a separate space for heavy luggage. The hand baggage will be allowed with the passengers, but those planning to carry heavy luggage will have to book it in advance. The concept will be like cabin baggage and check-in baggage

The passengers who book space for check-in luggage will be given seats in the same coach where space for the luggage will be created. The corporation will have to remove a few seats, which will reduce the capacity of the trains, to accommodate the luggage.

The corporation is yet to decide on the charges it will levy for check-in luggage and the weight limitation.

Khare said that at the time of the detailed project report, the fare was proposed as 1.5 time of the first AC fare of the Indian Railway train. For the charges related to luggage, we are yet to take a call.

About 35 % of the land required for the project has been acquired. Of the 508.17km-long corridor, 155.76km will be in Maharashtra, 348.04 km in Gujarat and 4.3km in Dadra and Nagar Haveli.

According to Khare, pre-construction activities, which include identification of utilities and critical structures, have been completed. The corporation has divided work on the network into 26 packages and expects to award contracts, including for the procurement of bullet trains, by the end of 2019.

The foundation stone for the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project was laid by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Japanese counterpart Shinzo Abe in 2017.

Shri Prakash the former member of the Railway Board said that since it will be a short journey, it is unlikely that people will travel with heavy luggage. But it is good to have the restriction.

Manesar Metro route alignment to be change

Manesar Metro route alignment to be change

GURUGRAM (Metro Rail News): In the light of the Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) project, which will cross the city and go through Manesar, Rewari, Bawal and Dharuhera to Alwar, the route alignment for the proposed Mass Rapid Transport System (MRTS) project is likely to be changed. MRTS was initially supposed to go from Huda City Centre till Pachgaon Chowk in Manesar in the first phase, which was to be extended to Bawal in the second phase.

It is now expected to begin at Rajiv Chowk and go towards the Southern Peripheral Road (SPR) through Vatika Chowk and finally reach Pachgaon in Manesar. The matter was discussed at a recent GMDA meeting where RITES, the government-appointed agency for metro projects, suggested that the proposed MRTS project needed reconsideration in the view of the alignment of Gurugram metro as well as RRTS. MRTS was proposed as part of the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor being undertaken by the Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC).

The corridor is approximately 30km long and is expected to cost the government around Rs 9,000 crore, as per an earlier estimate. According to the sources it is stated that the metro project planned by HSIIDC should be now re-planned as a city metro up to Pachgaon, given that the RRTS will anyway provide connectivity to the commuters going beyond Manesar. Further, the initial MRTS route including Huda City Centre and Subhash Chowk is already covered under the route for the proposed Gurugram metro.

A GMDA official said that in these conditions, HSIIDC is unlikely to find justification from the point of view of ridership estimates. Consequently, it was proposed that the MRTS project should be instead developed from Sohna bus stand at Rajiv Chowk to Subhash Chowk and onwards to Manesar through the Southern Peripheral Road.

It has been further proposed that the project be taken up by Haryana Metro Rail Transport Corporation (HMRTC) instead of HSIIDC. According to the reports MRTS route was likely to be altered and the metro route which was earlier going up till Bawal was likely to terminate at Pachgaon Chowk instead.

Talks on the MRTS project began as early as 2012. It was earlier slated to be launched in September 2017, but has been delayed several times

SC orders commencement of work for Delhi Metro Phase IV

SC orders commencement of work for Delhi Metro Phase IV

NEW DELHI (Metro Rail News): The Supreme Court (SC) directed to start the construction work for Delhi Metro’s Phase IV on Friday. It was delayed by over three years due to a tussle between the Centre and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government over clearances and funding after the Delhi government said that it will approve the project.

The AAP government had not approved the project, objecting to the central government’s proposal that it would have to bear the land cost, operational losses, and repayment of the loan in case of default. It said that the land cost of Rs 2,447 crore for the three approved corridors should be equally shared by both the governments. However, it agreed with the Centre’s proposal to share the central tax burden equally.

The Delhi Metro’s Phase IV consists of six corridors with a total length of 103.94km, connecting Aerocity to Tughlakabad, Inderlok to Indraprastha, Lajpat Nagar to Saket G block, Mukundpur to Maujpur, Janakpuri West to R K Ashram and Rithala to Bawana and Narela. It is likely to add around 18.6 lakh riders per day.

The court, in the last hearing, agreed with the amicus curiae and the Environment Pollution Control Authority (EPCA) that the project is critical for the city and issued notice to the Delhi government. In a response to the notice, senior advocate Dhruv Mehta, who appeared for the AAP government, told the bench that the project will be approved so that construction work could commence. The dispute with the Centre could be adjudicated later by the court, according to a newspaper report.

It may be noted that in 2014, the project was submitted by DMRC and work was to begin in 2016 but it could not commence due to the differences.

In March, the Centre had approved three of the six corridors. As the stalemate continued, EPCA moved the Supreme Court to seek its intervention. Senior advocate Aparajita Singh, who is assisting the court as amicus curiae, told a bench of Justices Arun Mishra and Deepak Gupta that the project is essential to deal with the problem of pollution and traffic congestion and any further delay will cost the city enormously.

Delhi Government in its affidavit said that both the Centre and Delhi government are 50:50 stakeholders in the equity in DMRC. The decision (to make Delhi liable to pay the entire land cost) therefore needs to be examined by this court and appropriate directions be passed as putting the entire land cost on After recording the Delhi government’s statement, the bench directed that construction work for three corridors of Phase IV be started forthwith.

However, the tussle between the two governments crops from the National Metro Rail Policy (NMRP) of August 2017 which specifies the role of Centre in public transport infrastructure projects. According to the policy, the Centre would provide financing assistance, up to 20 percent of the cost of state Metro projects. It states that the responsibility of the project’s sustainability vests with the state government. The Delhi government has said that the ownership of Delhi Metro is divided equally between the Union and the state governments, and the Centre must share the land and taxes proportionately. GNCTD would be too onerous to bear.

IIT Madras Avishkar project reaches finals of Hyperloop Pod Competition

BENGALURU (Metro Rail News): An autonomous Hyperloop has been developed by a team of student engineers from Avishkar Hyperloop and the Centre for Innovation (CFI) at IIT-Madras which can cover 1,200 km in one hour and is as reliable as rail, fast as an aircraft, and economically feasible as road transport.

The team is the only Asian contender amongst the top 21 finalists out of the over 1,600 designs in the fourth edition of SpaceX’s Hyperloop Pod competition. It is a group of about 30 students from inter-disciplinary backgrounds who have been working on creating their own pod since September 2017. These students devote three-four hours every day after college and now their work has come to fruition as they have raised `1 crore from sponsors and finally built a pod and a 40-metre test track. The team’s aim is to introduce the Hyperloop from Chennai to Bengaluru, to cover the 330-km distance in half hour.

At a technical seminar on Hyperloop hosted by SAE India (Society of Automobile Engineers India) in collaboration with Atria Institute of Technology, Perepu Sai Madhav, a vehicle dynamics engineer on the Avishkar Hyperloop project at IIT-Madras, said the vision of the team is to develop technologies for future mode of high-speed transportation with applications in various fields including defense, logistics, and aerospace among others.

Sai Madhav sais that Hyperloop would be paving the path for quicker and easier travel, especially in a country such as ours, with a large population and with busy scheduled lives an environment-friendly mode of transportation. Hyperloop is seen as the future of transportation globally. Madhav believes that though the initial cost of setting up the system would be high, it would prove economical in the long run.

The Hyperloop, if installed, seeks to reduce travel time drastically.
