With metro expansion, the monorail project remains grounded

Chennai: Looks like Monorail projects are finding it tough to gain grounds in the country. Earlier it was the Mumbai Monorail project where the curtain came down. Now it seems Chennai Monorail Project too seem to have its faith sealed.  The ambitious project is grounded with authorities planning to expand metro rail network across Chennai.The ambitious project of Monorail was announced by late chief minister Jayalalithaa. This project is not likely to take off as the focus is to expand metro network.

P. Thangamani, electricity minister shared that when monorail project was launched, it was planned for narrow roads. When tender was invited the authorities did not receive expected response. For this reason the project did not take off.On the other hand, the metro rail project had taken off and this facility was extended to other parts of the city leading to high increase in cost.The minister later on clarified that the monorail project is not dumped. It will be taken up post modification in routes and other dimensions.As per the information, in the Policy Note it was noticeably stated that the Pallavan Transport Consultancy Services, the nodal agency for executing the monorail project, has been ‘attached’ to the Institute of Road Transport because of sustaining losses to the tune of Rs. 41 lakh.

When concluded, Phase II is likely to have a regular ridership of 20 lakh people, the governor shared. The metro at present has a daily ridership of less than 4 lakh.In a review done by BMRCL, the work on second phase is running behind the deadline. It is almost three years behind the schedule. Ironically it is the Mysuru Road and Kanakapura Road extensions will be up and running by 2021. In fact as per earlier estimate work on this stretch has to be completed by this year itself.  Work on this stretch has slowed down. It was expected that after governor’s speech, state government will look to revise the deadline, but that has not happened yet.Governor in his speech has stated that the current government will work towards improving civic infrastructure, housing, water management and traffic control systems. He also said that public will have access to free Wi-Fi along with installation of close circuit cameras offering security to one and all.

Some information has been also collected from official that tweaking the design of the under construction project means further delay in completion of the RoB.
