DMRC Invites Expression Of Interest to have ATMs for All Metro stations

Delhi, Metro Rail News: Soon all Delhi metro stations will have ATMs as Delhi Metro is planning to install at least one ATM machine on every station on its network. In a move that will benefit daily commuters as well as enhance revenue earned by the corporation.

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has invited expression of interest from banks and non-bank entities to install ATMs in Metro stations across Delhi-NCR.

“Currently, 175 stations already have one or more ATMs, but with the rapid expansion in 2018, the idea is to cover the entire network with the ATM facility in 2019,” said a DMRC official.

for the last-mile connectivity for travelers, DMRC started service in collaboration with cab aggregators like Ola and Uber through the kiosks at the stations in December. The kiosks will provide the commuters with booking facility, information about location and status of the booked cabs.

Currently, the Delhi Metro spans over 317 km with 231 stations.

Namma Metro invite tender for Design & Construction of Underground structures

Namma Metro invite tender for Design & Construction of Underground structures

Bengaluru, Metro Rail News: The “practical difficulties” of constructing an elevated Metro corridor on narrow roads have prompted the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation (BMRCL) to stick to its original plan of building a 14-km underground stretch through the heart of Bengaluru. With the change in plan, 

the Gottigere Nagawara line will go underground from Dairy Circle to Nagawara. The section is referred to as Reach 6 of Phase II.

On January 21, 2019, Namma Metro floated bids for construction of two portions of the underground stretch of Reach 6 — a 3.65-km stretch between Dairy Circle and Vellara Junction and a 4.59-km stretch between Tannery Road and Nagawara. Bids for the seven-km underground stretch between Vellara Junction and Tannery Road were floated in two packages last year and are likely to be awarded in a week’s time. “We have stuck to the original plan of building the underground stretch due to multiple reasons. Even though it’s technically feasible to build an elevated corridor, there would have been practical difficulties,” Ajay Seth, managing director of BMRCL.

A senior official said the plan to have an elevated stretch on Tannery Road was dropped due to challenges in land acquisition. “The stretch is a thickly populated residential area. More than the cost component, acquiring land would have created social problems such as displacement of people and establishments,” he said. The BBMP, he said, had initially planned to widen Tannery Road but there has been no progress in a year.

The detailed project report of Phase II also suggested going underground between Dairy Circle and Nagawara to minimise land acquisition issue. The transport utility was, however, in two minds. BMRCL had planned to have the 14-km stretch partly elevated. This was after four construction companies — in the first bid for underground works — quoted about 69% more than Metro’sestimate.

To avoid what the BMRCL suspected to be a collusion of contractors, it chose to invite bids only for two packages (Vellara Junction-Shivajinagar and Cantonment-Pottery Road) in July 2018. It kept two other packages on hold. There was a strong suspicion of collusion as the four construction companies had emerged lowest bidders in each of the packages of the UG section, which was split into four.

TWO REMAINING PACKAGES

For the two remaining packages, BMRCL has revised the length and cost. While Namma Metro’s estimate and length of the tunnel remains the same in Package 1 as with the previous bid, there have been some changes in Package 4.

Senior officials said the length of the underground portion in Package 4 is kept longer than Package 1 due to geological conditions. “Our studies show that the underground stretch between Vellara Junction and Pottery Road comprises mixed geology, including hard rock, while the stretch between Tannery Road and Nagawara is smooth,” he said. Each eligible construction company, the officer said, will have to deploy a minimum of two tunnel-boring machines to carry out work on each package

Many Countries Express Interest to Import India’s Train 18 Set

New Delhi, Metro Rail News: Peru, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia and some countries in the Middle East have expressed interest in importing the Railways’state-of-the-art Train 18, a senior official said on Friday, even as the ambitious project awaits its first commercial run.

Train 18 which has run at a maximum speed of 180 kmph during its trial run will have its debut journey from Varanasi to Delhi.

“Many countries have expressed interest in the train set and we are happy and proud that an indigenously made product is attracting so much interest. The rolling stock market worldwide is worth about 200 billion dollars and we want a significant share of it. Now, the aim is to successfully run the train,” said Member, Rolling Stock, Railway Board, Rajesh Agarwal.

Sources said the train sets currently available worldwide at the standard of Train 18 cost around Rs 250 crore, while the Indian version manufactured by the Integral Coach Factory, Chennai costs around Rs 100 crore.

India, which is the latest entrant into the semi-high speed club, will also host the International High Speed Rail Association (IHRA) conference this February where the Railways is hoping to pitch Train 18 as a mascot of its manufacturing capabilities, sources said.

“The production of Linke Hofmann Busch (LHB) coaches increased from around 685 coaches in 2014-2015 to 4,016 coaches during the current year. The actual production upto December 2018 has touched 3,106 coaches with three more months to go. In fact, total LHB production of first 17 years has been exceeded in the last two years which is unprecedented” Said Agarwal

“Train 18 is our latest creation which has taken us 18 months from the idea stage to completion and manufacturing stage,” He added .

With 16 coaches, the train will have the same passenger carrying capacity as that of the Shatabdi Express. The high-tech, energy-efficient, self-propelled (engine-less) train was flagged off by Railway Board Chairman Ashwani Lohani on October 29.

The fully air-conditioned semi-high speed train will cut travel time by 15 per cent as compared to the Shatabdi line of trains.

HMR trying to speed up street-level work

Hyderabad, Metro Rail News: The tentative date for Hyderabad metro rail link to Hi-Tec City from Ameerpet interchange station (10 km) to become operational is 15th February 2019, said senior officials of Hyderabad Metro RailLimited (HMRL).

The Sankranti festival break earlier this week and reduced traffic movement in the area has enabled the metro rail engineers to take up more road space for barricading so as to complete the work on overhead viaduct.

The focus is not only on completing the four piers near Hi-Tec City road, but to complete the ‘reversal’ viaduct at Hi-Tec City station to allow trains to reverse and go back to Ameerpet interchange station. For the second part, 13 more piers have to be constructed.

Work has been proceeding somehow, but not at a desired pace considering traffic constraints as barricades on road reduces the space for vehicular movement.

“Traffic police have been cautious in allowing more barricades on road considering the furore it caused earlier, even though we have assured them that it could be done with better planning causing minimum inconvenience to motorists,” said metro rail officials, seeking anonymity.

Trial runs

In the meanwhile, the HMR is trying to speed up street-level work on ground, while L&T Metro Rail Hyderabad (L&TMRH) is involved in doing up entry and exits at seven stations en route. Trial runs and testing of signalling and telecommunications equipment too is under way to make the system fit for inspection by the Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety (CMRS), who gives the final nod.

Missed deadlines

If senior officials are cagey about giving any precise time-table, it is because deadlines (December then and January now) have been missed. It has already been stated that operating the Communication-Based Train Control (CBTC) got complicated owing to the delay in ‘reversal’ viaduct construction.

Hence, metro trains would be running on independent single lines from Ameerpet to Jubilee Hills Check Post station and switch lines towards Hi-Tec City station and vice-versa using a mix of conventional railway signalling and CBTC systems.

Why Noida Metro is still waiting for launch date?

Why Noida Metro is still waiting for launch date?

Noida, Metro Rail News: The Noida Metro’s Aqua Line has been touted as the lifeline of Greater Noida residents, including those living on the outer part of Noida. But the metro line hasn’t been made available to the public yet. The line will connect some areas of Greater Noida to the Delhi Metro, improving access to Delhi and Gurugram for Noida residents.

The Noida metro has received all clearances, fares have been announced, and even smart cards are being produced in partnership with State Bank of India. It is safe to say that the Noida metro line is ready for launch, PD Upadhyay, executive director of Noida Metro Rail Corporation, 

“We have sent the proposal to the government seeking a launch date. From our end, all due diligence is complete. We have been given a go-ahead by the safety commissioner as well.” he added.

So what is stopping the Noida metro’s aqua line for public operation? The Aqua Line is awaiting a formal inauguration. It is being speculated that the Prime Minister’s Office is yet to provide an available date. The BJP wants to inaugurate the line as close to the elections as possible, some claim. Others reasons for delay may include the authorities wanting to wait for the extension of the Blue Line. Nevertheless, the NMRC has neither cleared up any of these speculations nor offered a fixed timeline.

The lack of achhe din for NMRC

The Noida Metro’s Aqua Line, expected to be functional in April 2018 for Public operation, was first delayed in 2017, after lack of funds delayed the pick up of its made-in-China coaches from Mumbai. The three-month delay in commencement of its major power supply source—a substation in Sector 148, Noida, further delayed its launch. A victim of departmental and administrative delays, the line costing over Rs 5,500 crore was then targeted to be completed in December 2018—the line had already missed two deadlines in April and October. Finally, it was cleared for operations after three trials and approval from the Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety (CMRS). However, December is the month of Kharmas, an inauspicious period in which people do not initiate any new tasks, the project was delayed further. 

“We were earlier aiming for Christmas 2018 but could not get a date then. We then entered Kharmas and it is unlikely that it [the launch] happens during this period. We’re hoping it’s done after Makar Sakranti with the opening of the new Kalindi Kunj Bridge this month,” a senior Metro official said.

A six-lane bridge across the Yamuna river, near Kalindi Kunj, is also waiting for a final heads up.

Speaking about the delay, local activist Abhisht Gupta told Metro Rail News, “It is a troublesome situation for us. There’s conjecture that PM Modi’s availability for the inauguration was under doubt and since then it keeps getting delayed. I see the metro running all day, all empty; a lot of public money has been invested in the project. If we can’t use it in need, it is a waste of public money.”

Any further delay will only add to make to NMRC’s challenges. For example, the metro which is currently running empty under trial can accommodate up to 1,034 riders. The fare for the journey from the first station to the last station is Rs 50. This is to say that the NMRC is losing out on about Rs 51,700 per run. Additionally, if the inauguration doesn’t take place by January 31, NMRC will have to reapply for a CMRS clearance, which would need more trials and thus, further delay Aqua Line’s launch.

GMRC all set to start first trial run for Ahmedabad Metro from February 18

Ahmedabad, Metro Rail News: The Gujarat Metro Rail Corporation (GMRC) is all set to start a trial test run of the first metro train from February 18. A team of Research Designs and Standards Organisation (RDSO) is reaching the Ahmedabad Metro site on February 18 and the metro’s first trial run on tracks will be carried out under the close monitoring the RDSO team.

The RDSO officials will carried out the various function tests of the train in Ahmedabad before issuing the fitness certificate for starting the metro train in passenger service. The trail test will likely to complete in 15 days and the train is expected to start its commercial run from the first week of the March subject to getting safety clearance from the Commissioner for Metro Railway Safety (CMRS).

The first trainset of the Ahmedabad Metro Rail project, which reached in its Rolling Stock depot on January 1, 2019, is undergoing various checks and trials by the technical experts. The second trainset will depart from the Hyundai Rotem’s South Korea factory on 17th January and is expected to arrive in Ahmedabad by February 7 after which tests and trials will be conducted on it as well.

After the completion of statutory trials by the RDSO team, the safety inspection will be carried out by the CMRS and the trial of both trainsets. Once these are completed and getting safety clearance from the CMRS, the trains will be scheduled to start in a commercial run. The GMRC is planning to start a regular run of the metro train on the Apparel Park to Vastral stretch by the first week of March.

Sources said that GMRC had first decided to carry out the trial run by January 15 and then get the inspection done by RDSO and CMRS, after which the train was to make commercial runs. But since the government wanted to have the metro train flagged off by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, they decided that the run would be conducted only after all safety certificates are received.

Delhi Metro fined Rs 1 lakh for polluting drains in Kaushambi

Ghaziabad, Metro Rail News: The Uttar Pradesh pollution control board (UPPCB) on Monday told the National Green Tribunal (NGT) that it has levied a fine of Rs 1 lakh on the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) as five restaurants at Kaushambi Metro station run by the agency were allegedly discharging untreated water into the stormwater drains of Kaushambi.

The green court was hearing a petition, filed by the Kaushambi Apartments Residents’ Welfare Association (KARWA) in August 2018, which contended that sewer water from seven drains was flowing into the stormwater drains in the locality.

AK Tiwari, regional manager of the UPPCB, said, “We have imposed a fine of R1 lakh on the DMRC and the matter has been stated before the NGT during Monday’s hearing. A notice on the basis of a report submitted by the Ghaziabad municipal corporation, has also been sent to the DMRC. The inspection was carried out on January 7.”

DMRC sources, however, said UPPCB had tweeted about the issue, tagging DMRC’s officials Twitter account on December 20, 2018. Reacting to this, the complaint cell forwarded the complaint to the DMRC’s property development cell and they started taking corrective measures by ensuring that sewage is treated before dumped in a drain.

Sources in the DMRC said the agency decided to connect the food court’s sewage pipe directly to corporation’s line and also paid a certain amount to the corporation for the purpose.

They added that the legal department did not receive the UPPCB’s notice but it was received by the property development cell only on January 14. The DMRC sources said they have not received any written communication regarding the fine. “Once orders are available we shall take suitable action,” said DMRC spokesperson.

Meanwhile, the Ghaziabad municipal corporation, during inspection, carried out a survey of seven drains in Kaushambi. These include drains from Jaipuria apartment to hotel Samrat, Udaygiri apartment to Panchmadhi apartment, Sumeru apartment to Malaygiri apartment, Dabur to Wave cinema, Kaushambi’s Central Park to Wave cinema, Nanda tower to Shivalik tower and Shivalik tower to Kamadgiri apartment.

The inspection report stated that waste water from the septic tanks and washing of cars, etc at the five restaurants in Kaushambi Metro station was flowing into the drain. This, the corporation said, needs to be corrected by the DMRC.

The report also stated that untreated water from a toilet was flowing into the drain leading from Shivalik tower to Kamadgiri apartment. This, they stated is to be corrected by Ghaziabad development authority.

“After the petition and directions by NGT, the agencies started work and the issues with storm water drains will be resolved in couple of months. The UPPCB fined the DMRC but did not fine GDA,” said VK Mittal, president of KARWA.

The UPPCB officials said the GDA had told them that they have started the work hence no fine was levied

Mumbai Metro records highest weekday ridership

Ridership touched mark of 5.2 lakh in a day

Reliance Infrastructure promoted Mumbai Metro One recorded highest weekday ridership of 5.2 Lakh on 11 Jan, 2018. This surge was in the wake of ongoing BEST strike which started from 8th Jan. For four consecutive days 8th,9th,10th & 11th Jan, an average of additional 55,000 commuters took Metro for their travel needs and were accommodated by introducing 12 additional train services.

An incremental increase was witnessed uniformly throughout the day. Morning peak hours between 9:00 a.m. & 10:00 a.m. and evening peak hours between 6:00 p.m. & 8:00 p.m. showed maximum surge contributing around 55,000 commuters.

The major routes which showed growth are:

Routes Hike %age
Andheri to D N Nagar 31%
Andheri to Airport Road 31%
Andheri to Versova 29%
Andheri to Marol Naka 23%

The footfalls at these stations were the highest:

Station Hike %age
Saki Naka 23.7 %
Marol Naka 19.5 %
Andheri 17.8 %
Ghatkopar 9.3 %

In a short span of 4.5 years, Reliance Infrastructure promoted Mumbai Metro One has become the lifeline of Mumbaikars in the Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar corridor. Rain or shine, India’s first PPP Metro Rail project Mumbai Metro has become a reliable travel partner for its loyal commuters. Mumbai Metro has been able to achieve 99.9 % punctuality and 100% train availability primarily due to the maintenance work that happens in the 4 hour window at night.

Mumbai Metro One has set newer benchmarks on all fronts such as ridership, safety, frequency, reliability, cleanliness, modernity, customer service & operational excellence and has been consistently providing relief and comfort to Mumbaikars. Various ridership improvement initiatives undertaken Mumbai Metro has transformed the corporate hub in the Andheri Business District i.e. Saki Naka – Andheri belt.

An MMOPL spokesperson said, “We are happy to service additional commuters who have chosen Mumbai Metro during the strike period. Our systems are equipped to handle the increased capacity. We are grateful to our commuters for extending their patience and kind support. Passenger safety and convenience remain to be of paramount importance to us.”

Crowd Management Measures

In the wake of BEST Strike, we took the following measures:

  1. Train services: We introduced 12 additional train services while ensuring 100% train availability and 99.9% punctuality.
  • Ticketing: We increased the number of ticketing counters at critical stations to cater to additional patronage.
  • Crowd management: Additional manpower was deployed for crowd management and to assist first time users of Metro. In order to ensure safe and secure environment, senior managerial staff were also deputed to the stations.

Staff was assigned at road level, skywalks, FOBs and concourse level to ensure proper queuing and avoid any untoward incident.

  • Security management: Security was strengthened for ensuring smooth movement of commuters from non-secured area to the secured area (concourse level). For the safety of commuters, at times we did hold people at concourse so as to avoid crowding at platform level.

An MMOPL spokesperson said, “Since inception, passenger safety and convenience has been of paramount importance to us. It was heartening to receive overwhelming support of Mumbaikars who were really cooperative and disciplined right from queuing up to boarding the train and exiting from stations.”
