New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has flagged-off the Delhi-Faridabad Metro Line that would allow hassle free travel for around two lakh daily commuters between the national capital and the industrial hub in Haryana.
The extension of the Delhi Metro connects Badarpur to Escorts Mujesar in Faridabad.
The total cost of the project from Badarpur to Escorts Mujesar is nearly Rs. 2,500 crore. Out of this, Rs. 1,557 crore was borne by the Haryana Government, the Centre contributed Rs. 537 crore, while the Delhi Metro provided Rs. 400 crore.
All these are elevated and located on either side of the Delhi-Mathura Road (NH-2).
“The nine-station metro corridor which was 95 per cent indigenously built will provide people a safe, affordable, quick, comfortable, reliable, environment-friendly and sustainable transport facility,” a Haryana government spokesperson said.
Haryana Chief Minister ML Khattar, addressing a press conference on Saturday, had thanked the Prime Minister for “gifting” the Metro service which would take the city to “another level of progress” with better connectivity with other NCR towns.
He had also said that the Prime Minister would be announcing the go-ahead for connecting Gurgaon with Faridabad by Metro.
CHENNAI (Metro Rail News):CMRL has ventured into extensive infrastructure development in the city comprising three more metro rail corridors for a total length of 118.9 km & 128 no’s of stations being funded by several multi-national funding agencies, including the JICA, ADB and AIIB.
The first TBM tunnel drive in Phase II has already commenced, and CMRL has undertaken several safety measures in TBM tunnelling to ensure the public’s safety. Thiru. T. Archunan, Director(Projects), has said, “Several safety measures are being undertaken during the tunnel drive as there are various parameters to be monitored while the TBM is being operated like water pressure adjustment considering the water table in the area, even the slightest modification will impact the roads on the Surface and nearby buildings. Hence its most crucial that we monitor every 50m to ensure smooth and safe working space in the area without creating impact.”
Safety Preventive measures in TBM Tunnelling
Ground Monitoring instruments are installed in-ground Surface above the tunnel alignment.
Structural monitoring instruments are installed in the buildings above the tunnel influence zone.
The instrument readings are recorded daily during TBM Tunnelling.
The Surface monitoring team ensures ground distortion observation during tunnelling.
Existing building surveys, including Structural & Plastering cracks, are recorded and acknowledged by residents.
The building cracks that are found widen after the TBM crossing are entirely repaired.
All bore wells/Open wells in the influence zone properties are considered for Temporary/Permanent plugging.
Permanently plugged bore wells are provided with alternate bore wells.
Open wells must be closed and provided with alternate bore wells.
Bore wells which are plugged temporarily during TBM pass-through, adequate water supply is ensured for the residents.
In case buildings are listed as unsafe, evacuation of occupants is ensured with alternate accommodation for two months or as required.
In the event of any old-age building being structurally unsafe after tunnelling, new
construction will be considered.

STEPS TAKEN TO ENHANCE
“EASE OF DOING BUSINESS”
Online Vendor registration and payment through the U-VAM website started in MAY
2021.
Time for vendor approval was reduced substantially after the implementation of online Vendor
registration.
To simplify the procedures to ensure faster registration, a significant policy initiative has been recently taken which enables a Vendor to appear as a Developmental Source in RDSO Vendor Directory once RDSO Official has completed the verification of Documents and Capacity and Capability Assessment.
Research Design and Standards Organization (RDSO) organized 06 Vendor Meets to encourage industry participation in expanding the vendor base.
Important focus points during these Vendor Meets:
To encourage industry participation in Indian Railways.
To explain in detail the process for Approval of Vendor followed at RDSO.
Third, to encourage the participation of Micro and small industries.
Finally, to inform about various incentives for encouraging Vendors to register.
Mega Vendor Meet at RDSO Auditorium on 20.04.22
A list of items having limited sources is placed on the RDSO portal to encourage new Vendors in these items.
The vendor registration fee has now been revised and reduced to Rs 10,000 by MSME firms, Rs 15,000 by Non-MSME firms and Rs 40,000 by foreign firms.
Testing charges during vendor registration sample testing have been waived off.
A system of video recording and involving vendors in the sample testing process has been created, which leads to transparency in the sample testing process.
A system of periodic review and revision in RDSO ISO procedures related to the vendor approval process by a Standing committee is in place.
ISO procedure regarding Changes in approved status was revised on 22.09.2022 to simplify the process of upgradation to Approved Status.
CHENNAI (Metro Rail News):Chennai Metro Rail Limited has commenced the expansion of Chennai city’s metro rail network as a part of Phase II after the successful completion of Phase I and Phase I Extension Corridors in stages since June 2015 and the growing ridership in Corridors 1&2.
Now, CMRL has ventured into extensive infrastructure development in the city, comprising three more metro rail corridors for a total length of 118.9 km & 128 nos of stations being funded by several multi-national funding agencies, including the JICA, ADB and AIIB.
The Salient & Unique features of Phase II
Elevated Section
CMRL will have a Double-decker line & station standing in a single pillar for a stretch of about 5 km. The double-decker stretch will have four stations developed at two levels; Alwarthirunagar, Valasaravakkam, Karambakkam and Alapakkam will have a common concourse (ticketing level) with two different platforms. To execute the same, a special Launching Girder is fabricated and ready for use.
Many Balanced Cantilever method spans are adopted as great spans to suit the site conditions. Out of all, the most challenging location is Kathipara Junction. 5 spans continuous BCM (1 x 58m + 3 x 100m + 1 x 95m) with a 125m radius curve. Integrating with State Highway flyover at Thoraipakkam, Sholinganallur, Kattupakkam, Majambakkam & MIOT flyover location.
Underground Section
Stacked station: CMRL has planned to go with underground stations with a stacked-up platform design at locations where the width of the roads is as narrow as 10m. Pattalam, Thirumayilai, Kutchery, Alwarpet, and Bhardhidhasan road stations have staked tunnels.
Intersection of Tunnel: At Kilpauk, Thousand light and Nandanam, Phase II tunnels pass below the Phase I running tunnels. More challenging to execute the same.
Crossing of Adyar River: Corridor 3 crosses Adyar River near Adyar Junction (UG). The Crown of the Tunnel is 7 m below the bed level.
Multi-Modal Integration will integrate the Phase-II Network with other public transport modes, namely Suburban Rail, MRTS, City Bus Service, etc., at 21 different locations to ensure hassle-free and seamless connectivity.

AGRA (Metro Rail News): The Uttar Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation (UPMRC) has started construction track work on the Agra Metro Priority corridor. Authorities working on the Agra Metro Rail project are optimistic about the trial run shortly because track work is currently being done at the mainline.
“There is one crossover section (where the train changes track) at Taj East Gate Station, and the other crossover section on priority corridor is at Ramlila Maidan near Jama Masjid,” the press statement read.
The ballasted track will be used at the Agra metro depot, while a track without ballast will be manufactured for the Agra Metro corridor. A track without ballast needs less maintenance and is more suitable for metro rail projects, a news release from the UPMRC public relations office.
The depot’s test track is also finished and will be used for a test trial of the metro trains as soon as they arrive.
The construction of track work will be carried out first on the priority corridor’s elevated segment (from Taj East Gate to Fatehabad Road Metro Station), then will undergo track work toward the underground portion.
The first corridor of the Agra Metro Project, which connects Taj East Gate to Sikandara, is currently under construction. The Agra Metro Project will consist of two corridors, each measuring about 29.4 kilometres and having 27 stops.
Six stations will be in the priority corridor, three elevated and three underground.

BANGALORE (Metro Rail News): Anjum Parwez, the managing director of Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation (BMRC), said on November 18 that the 175 km metro rail project in Bengaluru was on track to be completed by June 2025.
Parwez states that urban India was the most underserved region until the 1990s because urban design was out of step with connection or transportation difficulties. He claimed that moving individuals from individualised transportation modes into multi-modal transportation systems and onto public transportation was the biggest problem in urban mobility.
Bengaluru will have 314 km of metro rail connectivity by 2041, Parwez stated at a session on the Future of Mobility at the Bengaluru Tech Summit 2022 (BTS 2022). He claimed that metro line work was going smoothly on the airport side.
BMRCL receives much support from mobility start-ups to guarantee that commuters have last-mile connectivity. He claimed that to get people to the nodal point and on their way to work, the Corporation is collaborating with mobility service providers, added Parwez.
He stated that the Corporation and the Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) discussed constructing bus stops at metro stations to make it simpler for passengers to board and depart both modes of transportation. Although the Karnataka government had stopped their activities, he recommended promoting carpooling and bike taxis.
