Chennai: Beginning 19 July, Chennai Metro Rail trains will start running at 8 a.m. on Sundays. According to officials of Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL), on Sundays, the trains will start running from 8 a.m. instead of 6 a.m. (like the other days).“This change in timings is to give us some additional time for routine maintenance work of trains. The change in timings is not because of the traffic,” an official said. So, the first train will leave Alandur for Koyambedu at 8 a.m. and the last train will leave Alandur at 10 p.m.After a six-year wait, the Chennai Metro Rail, built at a cost of Rs. 14,600 crore, was launched on 29 June in the 10 km stretch between Koyambedu and Alandur.

Chennai Metro|CMRL defends move to end contyract
Chennai: Metro Rail on Thursday dismissed the claims of Russian contractor Mosmetrostroy that it walked out of the project due to a tussle on payment, confirming that the ‘contractor-less’ Anna Salai stretch would be completed by 2017.“They just walked out of the project and now they are making statements that don’t sound sensible,” said a senior Metro Rail official.The statement from the official comes after Chennai Metro terminated the contract with both Mosmetrostroy and Gammon who were jointly awarded the contract to build underground stations at Government Estate, LIC building, Thousand Lights, Gemini, Teynampet, Chamiers Road and Saidapet along with twin bored tunnels covering over 6.4 km.“Just for Rs 50 crore to Rs 60 crore, they walked out of the project leaving behind Rs 100 crore bank guarantee as well as Rs 100 crore of equipment. They had all the provisions in the contract to go in for adjudication or arbitration,” the official said.Metro is now looking ahead. “Our concern is to finish the work at the earliest,” said a Chennai Metro Rail official.“Fresh tenders would be called by the end of this month. The project on the Anna Salai stretch could be finished by 2017,” he said.He also said the elevated stretch would be completed by the end of this financial year and the underground stretch from Chennai Egmore to Thirumangalam would be done by June next year.In their defence, a Mosmetro India official said the firm abandoned the project due to pressure from sub vendors to whom Mosmetrostroy owed money.“They changed the alignment and we had to dig an extra three metres. The soil below 13 metres was rocky and it affected our equipment and this led to cost escalation. Chennai Metro did not incorporate the difference in prices despite changing the alignment,” said the Metro rail official.

Mumbai Metro|Maha CM seeks technical support from Delhi Metro to expedite project
Mumbai: The Maharashtra government has asked Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC)’s technical support to increase the network to 120 km from 11.4 km now.DMRC, which had created a 200-km-plus Metro network in Delhi, is sending a team this week to Mumbai to make a presentation on how to expedite the implementation of the Mumbai Metro-II Dahisar Mankhurd corridor (40.2 km), Mumbai Metro-III Colaba-SEEPZ (Santacruz Electronics Export Processing Zone) corridor (33 km) and the Wadala Kasarvadavali corridor (32 km). These three Metro lines entail an investment of Rs 67,838 crore.DMRC was associated with Tata Consultancy Services and the Indian Institute of Technology, Mumbai, in May 2003 to prepare a master plan for Mumbai Metro and the detailed project reports for priority corridors. The master plan included nine corridors covering 146.5 km, out of which 32.5 km was proposed to be underground. However, the master plan was subsequently tweaked.Chief Minister Devendra Fandavis met DMRC officials last week and discussed its involvement to expedite development.A government official told, “Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has said the Mumbai Metro II and III and Wadala-Kasarvadavali corridors are expected to be operational by 2020-21. However, the chief minister has indicated that he wants 109 km completed before the next Assembly election, in October 2019. DMRC’s technical support will be the key, especially to mitigate the risk while laying underground lines. DMRC has adequate experience in tunneling.”An MMRDA official said DMRC might deploy technical manpower for the speedy development of Metro lines. The Metro-II corridor (36 stations) and Metro-III corridor (27 stations) would be underground. The 32-km Wadala Kasarvadavali corridor would have 24 underground and six elevated stations.Metro III corridor project has been in the news due to protests and objections by various political parties and non-government organisations on various issues relating to resettlement, rehabilitation and environment protection.

In seven Indian cities, expect the Metro rail to drive urban development this year
2015 could well be dubbed the Year of the Metro rail in India. One of the biggest drivers of urban land development is happily spreading its wings. This year Metro rail networks have been unveiled in Chennai and Jaipur and expanded in Delhi and Bangalore, which makes it a total of seven operational Metro systems in the country. Kolkata was the first city to be ordained a Metro rail in 1984, followed by Delhi in 1995. The success stories of the two has paved the way for Metros rail in others cities, Bangalore (2011), Gurgaon (2013), Mumbai (2014) and Jaipur (2015).Such expansion can only augur well for the real estate sector. Metro rail implementation on real estate prices along its corridor and ‘influence zone’ can scarcely be underestimated. In the larger and immediate context, it improves the standard of living of a large segment of the urban population, as well as act as a catalyst for sustainable development across large urban swathes.What is the Metro rail’s USP?n Saves on travel timen High service availability, reliability and qualityn De-congestionn Higher productivity and savings across the systemThe Metro rail system in India’s capital, for example, has changed the city beyond recognition in the last few years. In Delhi, landmarks and important buildings are identified by their closeness to Metro pillar numbers. Where once existed barren stretches of land is now home to vast flourishing market places, the scene of hectic commerce and business, where people seek to build fortunes.“These cities show a uniformly positive change after the implementation of Metros along their corridors. The deployment of a Metro directly impacts real estate through increase in land value, land use change and densification along the corridor. International case studies prove that mass transit systems such as Metros and monorails contribute significantly to solving traffic problems. Such projects also result in increased urban real estate values, since consumers are willing to pay more for the convenience,’’ says A Shankar, national director & head – urban solutions (strategic consulting) JLL India.Not only does Metro rail impact retail or commercial areas due to improved accessibility, even residential areas receive a dual demand driver – it generates jobs, which result in increased demand for homes, reduced commuting costs and increased conveniences. Naturally, it draws buyers to areas in close proximity to the rail.Assess for yourself, the Metro affect:
- in areas closest to the stations, the visible impact is higher on commercial property values than on residential values, and the effect diminishes as the distance from the station increases.
- Land prices are higher if a land parcel is located within walking distance, but not directly next to the station.
- The increase in land values is reflected in the area served, especially around the stations there is a considerable increase in demand of retail and office spaces around existing metro stations.
- most commercial properties near Metros result from the conversion of standalone residential units to apartments, mixed use properties to commercial use and new development on vacant land.

Chennai Metro|CMRL terminates contracts of Gammon India citing lack of progress in work
Chennai: The delay-plagued Metro Rail project suffered another blow on Tuesday when Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) terminated the contract of Gammon India citing lack of progress in work. Recently, the latter’s joint venture partner, the Russian firm Mosmetrostroy, had abandoned the project. This means commuters will continue to live with severe traffic jams on the Anna Salai stretch for at least another two years till the work is complete.
Officials of Chennai Metro Rail Limited said they were unhappy with the progress of this project and had been considering terminating the contract for a while now. “It may take at least 2-3 months to call for a fresh tender and finalise it. Then, another two years will be needed to complete the work,” he added.
The termination of this contract comes few months after Mosmetrostroy abandoned the project owing to severe financial crunch. Soon after it walked out of the project, CMRL asked another contractor Afcons Infrastructure Limited to carry out the tunnelling work from Saidapet to Gemini. “They will finish some important work till a fresh contractor steps in,” an official said.
Gammon India in a joint venture with Mosmetrostroy had bagged a contract of Rs. 1,947 crore from CMRL for seven underground stations including Government Estate, LIC, Gemini, Teynampet and Saidapet.

This is not the first time that CMRL had terminated its contractor. Earlier, the contracts of Consolidated Construction Consortium Limited (CCCL) and Lanco Infratech Limited were also terminated by CMRL for the tardy progress of work and after several months, fresh contracts were awarded.

Delhi Metro| DMRC to inform Passengers about Snag and Time to resolve it
New Delhi: The next time your Metro train stops suddenly and the air-conditioning goes off, don’t panic. Delhi Metro will not only inform you about the technical snag but will also tell you how long it will take to resolve the problem.Wednesday’s incident, in which 1,600 passengers got off a train stuck near Laxmi Nagar and walked down the tracks unmonitored, has prompted Delhi Metro to redraw its lines of communication with commuters.Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) chief, Mangu Singh, said, “We are going to improve the channels of communication with passengers so that in emergency they know what is being and don’t panic.”Usually , announcements are made to inform that a technical snag has occurred. But now DMRC is planning to announce the nature of the problem and the expected timeline for resolving it inside the train, informed Singh.This will be done for snags caused due to a power problem, like snapping of the overhead electrification (OHE) line. On Wednesday , the overhead electrical line snapped and all trains on that route came to a halt.The DMRC chief has also asked the operations department to explore the possibility of a system whereby passengers can be de-boarded with a monitored evacuation procedure if the problem takes longer than 15-20 minutes to resolve.“It can get difficult inside the train if the air conditioning is not working. We’re looking at a solution where, if the problem takes longer than a specified time to resolve, a monitored evacuation of passengers is started through the emergency doors,” said an official.On Wednesday , passengers had opened the emergency doors on their own and deboarded. “It was a dangerous situation, especially as the track was open and another train could have come at any time. We had to close down the track due to this, which further escalated the problem,” added the official.Snags occurring from power-related problems are common on the elevated sections of Delhi Metro network.

Chennai Metro|TN State Police to handle security arrangements of Chennai Metro Rail
Chennai (MAS): With the initial euphoria over the launch of the metro slowly dying down, the senior police officials are now seriously looking at the safety and security of Chennai Metro Rail, which became operational two weeks ago.Security arrangements for the Chennai Metro Rail, will in all likelihood, be taken over by the State police with private security guards, who are currently overseeing the security, complementing them for screening baggage.\The state DGP Ashok Kumar and Chennai city police commissioner S. George on Saturday took a ride on the metro from Koyambedu to Alandur along with a team of senior officers. The officers reportedly held talks with Pankaj Kumar Bansal, managing director of CMRL over safety and security at the stations. At present, CMRL has deployed some private security guards at the newly opened stations.Police sources said discussions to this effect are at a rudimentary stage, while another senior police official agreeing with this said they were actually discussing what force should be posted at Metro Railway stations.“It has been made clear that the security at the stations will be taken over by the State police. We have expressed our concern on the current security. We have also pointed out additional security arrangements to be made at some key locations”, he said. A huge project of this magnitude needs fool-proof security system, police sources said. “There should be a dedicated force for the security at Metro Rail stations on the lines of Delhi Metro,” a police officer said. In Delhi, CISF is in charge of the security of the metro rail. In Mumbai, there is a special state industrial security force to handle security of specialised areas.CMRL officials have informed the State police that CMRL will monitor the CCTV cameras installed in stations exclusively from their control centre with an assurance that they will share footage as and when required by the State police.The State police chief Ashok Kumar, ADGP L&O TK Rajendran, IGP-Intelligence P Kannappan, and City Police Commissioner, S George, accompanied by Metro Rail officials took a ride on the Metro on Saturday afternoon in order to inspect the security arrangements.“The ride was primarily to inspect present security arrangements installed by the CMRL”, another top officer observed.During the inspection, the top cops were walked through the operation of the CMRL between Koyambedu and Alandur stations.
