Currently, the Airport Express Line sees a daily ridership of 50,000 commuters, which DMRC believes will go up substantially after the Pink Line opens.While the Pink Line was envisaged as a ring connecting all parts of the city, difficulties in acquiring land at Trilokpuri created a missing link of 1.52km. This would mean that the trains coming from Majlis Park will have to reverse from Mayur Vihar Pocket 1 station and trains coming from Shiv Vihar will have to reverse from Trilokpuri station.“The sections from Durgabhai Deshmukh South Campus station to Mayur Vihar Pocket 1 and Shiv Vihar to Trilokpuri station are expected to be ready for trial runs by the end of this year,” the spokesperson said.

Hyderabad Metro | Telangana CM invites PM Modi to inaugurate metro rail service
Hyderabad: Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao has invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi to inaugurate the ₹15,000-crore Hyderabad metro rail project during his visit here in November.
Mentioning his personal invitation to Modi made earlier in June in New Delhi, the Chief Minister requested the PM to inaugurate the Hyderabad metro rail project (Phase-I) in November 2017.
In the letter addressed to the Prime Minister, the Chief Minister tweeted that the first phase of the project will be ready in November, and that during Modi’s visit to Hyderabad during the Global Entrepreneurship Summit as Chief Guest, the phase one could be inaugurated.
Project in progressThe Chief Minister informed that the 72-km, ₹15,000-crore Hyderabad metro rail project is the biggest public private partnership venture to date. The 13-km Miyapur-Ameerpet line and 17-km Ameerpet Nagole line have conducted trial runs and obtained safety permissions. Meanwhile, work on the metro rail has gathered pace with round-the-clock activity in some segments.

But Japan is no longer able to aggressively involve itself in metro projects. However, the extension of existing lines in Mumbai and Chennai are under active discussion.”“We have an annual funding limit and the money should be spent on prioritised areas,” the official added.Nine Indian cities currently have a metro network, with Lucknow joining the list recently.Following the launch, UP chief minister Yogi Adityanath proposed to set up a UP Metro Rail Corporation to oversee metro construction in a string of new cities – Agra, Kanpur, Allahabad, and Varanasi.Earlier in the year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said 50 Indian cities are ready for a metro network.India’s metro rail expansion over the last two decades has, for the most part, been financed through soft loans from Japan.In the case of Delhi, the share of Japanese assistance as a percentage of the total project cost has come down from 60% in Phase-I to 48.5% in the ongoing Phase-III.Delhi Metro spokesperson Anuj Dayal said that a final approval for 104-km long Phase-IV of the project is pending with the ministry of urban development. “Funding call will be taken after the approval,” he said.With the union government recently releasing a metro rail policy, which puts heavy emphasis on city’s finding private funders of their own – if 50 Indian cities want a metro network, they may have to start figuring out how to pay for it.“Apart from central government sources or cheap foreign loans, I don’t see money coming from other sources,” said M. Ramachandran, former secretary of the ministry of urban development. “If cities go to the market, loans would come at a steep interest rate. That would make the eventual fares too expensive and no one would use the system.”

According to sources, Sreedharan strongly advocated medium metro rail for Vijayawada city as the light metro will be grossly inadequate and will remain useless when metro sees the light of the day in the capital.A senior official said that Sreedharan did not concur the argument of Municipal Administration department that there will be 25 per cent of cost difference between light metro and medium metro.“It will take another one year to prepare detailed project report for light metro and technology is also not available in the country. Besides, the delay in construction will cause project cost escalation by 5 per cent and the difference will come down to 13 per cent” Sreedharan told the officials.Sreedharan reportedly suggested Principal Secretary to Municipal Administration Karikal Valaven to write letter to Union government requesting exemption for state from new metro rail policy which mandated Private-Public-Partnership (PPP) compulsory along with some other tough conditions.However, officials of Amaravati Metro Rail Corporation seem to be reluctant to consider the metro man’s advice.Reliable sources said that higher-ups of Municipal Administration department also suggested AMRC to take light suggestions of Sreedharan and write a formal letter to Centre for asking exemption.
