The New Delhi station not only has a huge rush of passengers using the railway station, but also serves as an inter-change for those who want to board the Airport Express Metro Line.
As a result, the station witnesses a footfall of over one lakh, many of whom do not even board the metro but use the station as a resting point in-between trains. The ridership at the station is around 55,000.
As a crowd control measure, the DMRC has come up with a proposal to install up to 30 additional ticket counters outside the station premises. “The exact location of the counters will depend upon the space provided by railway authorities. We are in touch with them to get some space at ground level allocated to the DMRC,” said a metro official.
Kochi Metro|Metro rail project construction works pick up speed
Kochi: The work of the Kochi Metro Rail project, which was slightly affected by the monsoon rains, regained momentum. According to the authorities concerned, the civil works of the project between Aluva and Maharajah’s College will be completed by the end of this year. As per the data provided by the authorities, a total of 240 girders (including ‘U’ and ‘I’ girders) were installed at the reach between Aluva and Kalamassery. Another 340 girders were already installed between Kalamassery and Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. While between the stadium and Maharajah’s College, the contractors have already installed 130 ‘U’ and ‘I’ girders.There will be a total of 16 stations in the first stretch of Kochi Metro Rail, between Aluva and Maharajah’s College, that will be commissioned initially. These are Aluva, Pulinchode, Companyppady, Ambattukadavu, Muttom, Kalamassery, CUSAT, Pathadippalam, Edappally, Changampuzha Park, Palaraivattam, Jawaharlala Nehru Stadium, Kaloor, Lissie Jn, M G Road and Maharajah’s College.According to the officials concerned, nearly 50 percent of the work of the stations are completed. The remaining is expected to be completed by December this year. “The areas in the reaches where the civil works are already completed can be handed over for the laying of rails. For instance, in most of the areas between Aluva and Kalamassery, the civil works have been completed in stretches varying to a length of nearly two kilometres. These stretches will be soon handed over for the laying of rails which have been already brought to the nearest casting yards,” according to the officials concerned.Meanwhile, the work of the coach maintenance yard at Muttom is also progressing in full swing and the official said that the concreting works of the sub station building and the cabling shed for coaches is fast progressing.Though the actual deadline was scheduled for June 2016, the UDF lead Government wants an early commissioning of the project, before the launch of the election code of conduct for the upcoming Assembly elections. However, if the DMRC becomes successful in completing the work of the 18 km stretch between Aluva and Maharajah’s College before the deadline, it will be yet another national record with respect to Metro Rail construction. It took almost six years to complete the first 10Km stretch of Chennai Metro Rail, which was commissioned recently, while in the case of Delhi Metro Rail, it took more than four years for the completion of first 8.5-km stretch.Meanwhile, in Bangalore, the first 6km was commissioned after nearly six years from the commencement of work. Taking into consideration all these projects, the work of Kochi Metro Rail is progressing in a fast track mode, the official added.Gaining Momentum

Mumbai Metro|MMRC launches its new official logo
Mumbai: The Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation, which is implementing the crucial Colaba-Bandra-Seepz Metro-3 corridor, from July 6, will carry itself with a fresh Logo. “The earlier logo was designed with an elevated Metro-3 corridor in mind as was planned originally. The new Logo, of course, will present the organization more
appropriately as it is more relevant, fresh and robust”, said Mr. UPS Madan, Director, MMRC and Metropolitan Commissioner, MMRDA, while unveiling the new Logo. “It may also be noted that the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation was initially floated as a State Government agency.

“The infrastructure industry communicates with the world with its brands that are communicative and logos that are relevant to the business”, said Ms. Ashwini Bhide, Managing Director, MMRC. “We are looking forward to
establishing a fresh dialogue with the city as it desperately is in need of this under ground metro corridor which will rid this city of its traffic woes and more importantly the hundreds of on-track deaths”, concluded Ms. Bhide.
The new logo has been designed by M/s. Design Orb which was represented by Ms. Poornima Burte, Director.
Also present on the occasion were Mr. Ambuj Bajpai, Under Secretary, MoUD, GoI; Mr. S. K. Gupta, Director (Projects), MMRC; Mr. A. A. Bhatt, Director (System), MMRC; Mr. R. K. Sharma, Director (Electrical), MMRC; Mr.

Nagpur Metro|Nagpur Buldi Metro Station building will be 25 Story high
Nagpur: The Nagpur Metro Rail Corporation Limited (NMRCL) not only aims to provide the city a modern mass transport system but also construct the tallest building in the city. It aims to construct a 20-storeyed building atop the Sitabuldi metro station at Munje Square. The effective height of the tower will be around 25 storeys. At present, the tallest buildings in the city are the five residential towers in Anandam City, which are G+19 structures.NMRCL managing director Brijesh Dixit told that the two corridors of metro rail will cross at Munje Square and hence, will have a huge passenger load and excellent connectivity to other parts of the city. “We want to take advantage of the location and construct the building on this spot. The building will have a viewers’ gallery on the terrace. The building itself will house shops, offices, hotels, restaurants, etc. It will become a good revenue source for us,” he elaborated.“The two corridors will cross at about 5 metres above the Maharashtra Bank building. The metro trains coming out of the building will be wonderful sight. We will hold a global competition of architects to design the landmark building,” the MD said.Munje Square station is not the only one that NMRCL plans to make a landmark one. “The Ambazari station will have a walkway at the height of 15 metres that will provide wonderful view of the lake and its surroundings. It will have a glass wall for visitors. Here, too, we will construct a commercial centre,” the MD told.NMRCL is aware of the acute shortage of parking space in the city and its consequence on availability of the same for metro stations. It is thinking of innovative solutions to overcome this problem. “We are thinking of creating underground parking areas under some of the city gardens,” Dixit said.Dixit further said that he had recently met with divisional commissioner Anup Kumar and district collector Sachin Kurve to discuss the issues related with transfer of revenue land to Nagpur Metro. Sanjay Darade, commandant of SRPF Nagpur, was also present in the meeting. “Very good progress was made in the meeting towards land requirement of NMRCL for car depot at Hingna,” he added.“Another meeting was convened at Metro House with NMC Commissioner Shravan Hardikar and other officials from NMC. The issues related with transfer of land owned by NMC were discussed. Shifting of utilities like street lights, electric supply lines, water pipelines, sever, etc coming in the metro alignment was discussed in detail. The provision of parking near proposed station areas and feeder bus services were also deliberated in the meeting,” Dixit further said.
Nagpur Metro|NMRC has set a target of reducing the project cost by 20%
Nagpur: In order to increase the viability of the metro rail Nagpur Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (NMRCL) has set a target of reducing the project cost by 20%. The cost of the project as per 2012 estimates of Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) was Rs.8,421 crore. The union cabinet sanctioned the project at this cost. However, the cost as per 2014 estimates had gone up to Rs 10,360 crore.Aware of the fact that cost escalation can derail the project, NMRCL officials are trying to find out all ways and means to reduce the cost. These include rationalization of the construction and outsourcing.Brijesh Dixit, Managing Director of NMRCL, told DMRC had planned the project for 100 years, which had been reduced to 50 years by the metro company. “One hundred years is too long a time. It unnecessarily increases the project cost and leads to dead investment. Infrastructure can be expanded when required. We will leave space for it,” he said.Explaining rationalization, he said, “The length of the metro stations, size of the depots and the size of the viaduct (elevated track structure) is being reduced. The viaduct size is being reduced by 15% which alone will lead to cost saving of 10%.”Outsourcing of fare collection will lead to saving of over Rs 200 crore. “We will have to install automatic fare collection (AFC) machines at all the metro stations. We will integrate a bank’s ATM card with the metro fare coupon. The bank will install the machines for us as it will get a large number of customers, who will open an account in order to get the ATM card,” Dixit said.NMRCL is also planning to reduce operation cost by using solar energy. A private operator will install solar panels atop stations and depot and along the alignment of the metro corridor. It will sell power to NMRCL at a profit and recover its investment. The agency also plans to provide WiFi service at metro stations with the help of a private operator. “The operator will be given rights to advertise on digital display boards at stations and inside the trains. He will share revenue with us,” Dixit said.In addition to Sitabuldi and Ambazari stations, NMRCL plans to commercially develop metro stations at Zero Mile, Railway Station and six locations on Central Avenue.Nine bids for Sitabuldi stationNine international consultants have bid for designing the Sitabuldi metro station atop which NMRCL plans to construct a 20 storey building. The last date for submitting bids is July 6. Some more bids are expected by then.Ways to reduce capital cost of metro rail
- Cutting down length of metro stations
- Reducing width of the viaduct by 15%
- Reducing size of the two metro rail depots
- Outsourcing fare collection system
- Using solar energy
- Commercial use of some stations
- WiFi at stations through private operator
Jaipur Metro|JMRC eyes Chinese & American Firms for Phase-2 project
Jaipur: The Jaipur Metro Rail Corporation (JMRC) is now looking at Chinese and American companies to construct Metro phase II (Sitapura to Ambabari) under the public private partnership (PPP) model after failing to elicit a positive response from Industrial Enterprise, Singapore.A senior JMRC official informed, “We are expecting a visit from a Chinese delegation on July 8th and an American delegation on July 20th. The JMRC will give a presentation to these firms and explain every aspect for investing in this project.”A senior official said that despite offering a lucrative deal to the Singapore agency, JMRC is yet to get any response. “The estimated cost of Metro phase-II is Rs 10,000 crore. It has been proposed that the state government would provide 40% amount (as viability gap fund) to the company. The remaining 60% amount would be borne by the state government and the company.”Meanwhile, the state government had also expressed its willingness to handover the operation and maintenance of Metro phase-I A and B to the firm after spending Rs 3,149 crore.A source said, “As per the proposal to Singapore, the state government will bear Rs 7,000 crore, while the company will have to pay Rs 3,000 crore. The company will also get additional benefits as it will be collecting the fare. However, it did not show any interest. “The JMRC officials said that as there are many similarities between the second phase of Jaipur Metro and Singapore Metro, the PPP would be successful. “The Metro is almost fully underground and in our second phase, we have proposed a 10-km underground track out of the total distance of 24 km.

It would be good if some company from Singapore or China takes it up,” the official added.The JMRC is keen to start the construction of this project soon as the route is viable and it would benefit maximum number of people. Important points of the city like the airport, Secretariat, SMS hospital and government offices will be on this route.

Chennai Metro|CMRL makes penalty for hanging more than 20 minutes at one station
Chennai: If you stay more than 20 minutes at the platform of metro stations without boarding a train, you are liable to be penalised.Chennai Metro Rail officials said the smart card won’t work when trying to enter into the station and the ticket checking official could easily find out that you have overstayed. And this could result in the commuter having to pay the penalty even if he hasn’t used the service.

However, Chennai Metro has not yet notified this and an official promised that announcements would be put out in the stations to make commuters aware of the consequences of either loitering or waiting too long on the platform.Meanwhile, Chennai Metro Rail officials are planning to set up kiosks at the station entrance, providing food, sweets, bakery items and confectioneries, stationary gifts, mobiles and accessories and bookstores. A Metro official said tenders have been floated in this regard.“We will also be setting up ATMs,” said the official. Currently, some of the stations have two ATMs and this could function with the availability of network.It is learnt that Koyambedu, Alandhur, Arumbakkam and Vadapalani stations would have food court and beverage kiosks. A total of 99 square metres have been marked in these four stations for this purpose, sources said.Similarly, sweets, bakery items and confectioneries, stationary gifts, mobiles and accessories and bookstores kiosks would be set up in all the seven stations.For the public, the biggest hurdle is lack of multi-modal integration. The proposed mini-buses are nowhere to be seen. And people from far-off places like chinmaya Nagar, Valsaravakkam, Anna Nagar or residential areas in Vadapalani find it difficult to access Chennai Metro.
