Chandigarh Metro | DMRC’s submits revised report on Chandigarh Metro Rail Project
Bangalore Metro | Bangalore’s East-West Metro connectivity could be a New Year’s gift
The underground station at Minsk Square is all but ready, Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. (BMRCL) officials said after Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s inspection of the station on Saturday.
Mr. Siddaramaiah said work only on the false ceiling was left, and the works in their entirety would be completed within a month. “There will be five entrances to the station. The roads around the station will have to be repaired to make them motorable,” he said, after being taken through the station that has also got power connection now.
After inspecting the metro rail work at Sarakki and Banashankari later, he said the footpaths and service roads around the stations had to be improved, while plants could be grown on the median.
BMRCL Managing Director Pradeep Singh Kharola said the most difficult task would be to deal with the Chikpet area for the north-south line. “There are very old houses on that stretch, some of them made of mud,” he said.

Kochi Metro | Alstom offers Driverless Trains to Kochi Metro
Kochi: With the first lot of Kochi Metro coaches expected to arrive by mid-December, Alstom has offered two crucial value additions that together cost Rs.55 crore.
A pioneering initiative to regenerate 99 per cent of braking energy of each train would increase the project cost by Rs.15 crore, from Rs.633 crore to Rs.648 crore. The proposal has been submitted to the Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL).
Another first
Another first-time-in-India initiative is Unmanned Train Operation (UTO) that could escalate procurement cost of 75 coaches by another Rs.40 crore to Rs.688 crore. A proposal on this is expected to be submitted to the KMRL shortly.
“The total increase of Rs.55 crore is marginal since its pay-back (break even) period will be less than four years. We are awaiting response from the KMRL since the first few coaches must be delivered in two months,” said Bharat Salhotra, MD (Transport – India and South Asia) of Alstom. The firm is trying to hard-sell its regenerative braking technology branded Hesop to the KMRL.
“Using this, 99 per cent of braking energy of each train can be fed back into grid or can be used by the train that follows. This will result in phenomenal savings to the KMRL, while ushering in a revolutionary green technology in Kerala,” said Mr. Salhotra.
Safer journey ensured
The manned trains can be transformed into unmanned ones by making slight structural and engineering alterations. This will ensure safer journey since the remote probability of human error can be ruled out.
The UTO technology will also ensure more comfortable journey since trains will operate as per standardised norms – no sudden acceleration and braking by unskilled drivers, while enabling structured time gap between trains. All these contribute to lessening wear and tear of trains, thus lessening life-cycle cost, sources associated with the metro coaches said.

The AAP government has also decided to provide bus services at a frequency of 2-5 minutes on the city’s 10 road stretches to be redesigned soon.“I have asked DMRC to increase train frequency. Metro has informed the government that in the past one month, DMRC has inducted 125 new trains in its fleet, but it is not sufficient.“I recently sent some of my volunteers to check the status of frequency of metro trains and I got to know that at 6 AM, there is a frequency of 7 to 15 minutes between two trains,” Kejriwal said here.He said several persons told him that they have stopped traveling by Metro because of the heavy rush.DMRC chief Mangu Singh has told the government when less than seven people occupy one sq m in the metro, they decrease the frequency, the Chief Minister said.“I have asked him to run trains at peak frequency for three months. If there is no crowd even at 6 AM, DMRC should also run trains in peak frequency and Delhi government will pay for any loss the metro suffers,” he said.PWD Minister Satyendar Jain said that government has decided to provide high-frequency bus services on 10 roads to be redesigned by the department.The 10 roads to be redesigned are from Janakpuri to Sarai Kale Khan, Wazirabad to Sarai Kale Khan, Mukarba chowk to Singhu Border, Wazirabad to Apsara Border, Nizamuddin Crossing (Ring Road 2) to UP Border, Wazirpur DTC Depot to Rithala Metro Station, Britannia Road to Outer Ring Road (West Enclave), Shiv Das Puri Marg (Ring Road) to Patel Nagar, Mangolpuri to Kanjhawala, Nawala Cross Road (Road number 41) to Road Number 41 A (Patparganj).“Government has planned to provide high-frequency bus services on these 10 redesigned roads. People will be able to get buses on these stretches at every 2-5 minutes. Government will also create a dedicated bus lane on this stretch,” Jain said.He also said that in order to provide last mile connectivity, government will provide feeder bus services and CCTVs will also be installed on these 10 roads.

According to an official data accessed, 24 cases were detected between January—September this year of people clandestinely getting inside the station area by hoodwinking CISF and other security guards deployed to mandatorily frisk each and every person going inside the Metro station area.
A total of 43 incidents have been reported during the same period where unchecked baggage was sneaked in through the unsecured areas in Metro stations.

Chennai Metro|CMRL to tap solar energy soon
Chennai: Three months after the launch of the Chennai Metro Rail service between Koyambedu and Alandur, officials are now looking at the possibility of tapping solar energy.
According to officials of the Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL), they are planning to install solar power panels either in the shed or the depot in Koyambedu. “We are yet to take a call on this. We estimate it would generate about 1000 kW power generation,” says an official.
The depot at Koyambedu, built at a cost of Rs. 198 crore, sprawls over 26 hectares. It houses maintenance workshops, stabling lines, test tracks, washing plants and an Operational Control Centre (OCC) from where the trains can be monitored and controlled. Currently, there are two main sub-stations and two auxiliary stations catering to Chennai Metro Rail, the official says.
Chennai Metro Rail is following in the footsteps of the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation, which has established solar power facilities with a generation capacity of 2.8 MWp.
