Hyderabad, India (Metro Rail News): Larsen and Toubro Metro rail, which runs metro trains in Hyderabad, is getting a loan of Rs. Thirteen thousand six hundred crores (13,600) in bonds and commercial papers. This year, it is one of the most extensive local debts fundraisings in the infrastructure sector.

It aims to sell non-convertible debentures worth Rs.8,600 crore with maturities up to five years and commercial papers up to Rs.5,000 crore in tranches spread across maturities for up to a year.

MAHARASHTRA, INDIA (Metro Rail News): On 19th December 2021, J Kumar Infraprojects and Sunder Cranes built the first 28m U-girders to build the 11.38 km for Mumbai’s Metro Line 9 (Red Line) corridor by using two large carriers-straddle.

The landmark incident was recorded between piers P162 and P163 in front of the showroom at Royal Enfield’s Mira Road’s Salasar Center Park. The nearest station was built in Sai Baba Nagar. Last month, J Kumar’s team built their first pier cap at Pier P162.

It’s not the first U-girder introduced in Line-9, though. That historical event was recorded at Thakur Mall using a few cranes in April 2021.

The contract for the construction of Line-9 between Dahisar East and Mira Bhayandar under the CA-48 package was awarded to J Kumar Infraprojects by MMRDA in January 2020 after appearing to be the lowest applicants for this route and Line-7A (line extension).

The contract’s scope includes the construction of two-story viaducts on Kashmira Road 1.5 km, 1.1 km and 754 meters of metro cars and trains, as well as eight stations in Dahisar East (new station box), Pandurang Wadi (in exchange for Line-10), Miragaon, Kashigaon, Sai Baba Nagar, Meaditya Nagar, Shaheed Bhagat Singh Garden and Subhash Chandra Bose Ground.

NEW DELHI, INDIA (Metro Rail News): The Delhi Court refuted the plea that referred to inaction from authorities about some associated defects in the double-decker metro viaducts projects in northeast Delhi.  The bench consisting of the Chief Justice of India D.N. Patel noted that the complaint registered was forming a part of the earlier disposed of plea and issued the directions to authorities concerned to investigate the matters of alleged concerns, and that’s why the petitioner was also free to go for a contempt plea in case of a grievance. Moreover, the other member of the bench, Jyoti Singh, added that the proceedings would not be revived again and dismissed the application.

High Court also directed the government of Delhi to consider the representation of petition filed by Jain Arogya of Naturocare Welfare Society and advocate SD Windlesh as per the government defined rules, law and policies. The petition contained the defects in the double-decker viaduct pink line of Delhi Metro Rail Corporation in Northeast Delhi because it will lead to the cutting of thousands of trees which will be a cause of inconvenience to people. However, the project has already gotten approval from the concerned respondents.

The leading cause of concern is the inherent defects of the project on road no. 59, and if it gets executed, thousands of 50 to 70 years of trees will get cut. The double-decker track will be having metro tracks on the upper deck and a flyover for vehicular traffic on a 1.4Km stretch between the Yamuna Vihar and Bhajan Pura stations.

As per the petitioner’s complaint, the project is quite poorly designed and technologically very poor and can easily ruin the thousands of crores of public rupees and create traffic problems if the project is not reviewed or modified.

New Delhi, India (Metro Rail News): The construction work for two more bullet trains is also likely to commence in 2022-23. In addition, according to government officials, the Centre can announce the New Delhi – Varanasi high-speed rail corridor in the Union Budget 2022-23. The officials have announced based on anonymity and added that the Mumbai-Nagpur corridor also depends on the rail ministry for clarification on funding.

National High-Speed Rail Corp. Ltd (NHSRCL) makes the DPR for the New Delhi-Varanasi corridor. And is submitted to Railways in November only. Moreover, according to the NHSRCL, the DPR for Mumbai-Nagpur will be completed and will be forwarded to Railway Ministry in the first quarter of the next fiscal year. They also mentioned that DPRs for five more Bullet train projects are also going well and may be completed by Fiscal Year 2023. However, the railway Ministry has yet not responded to the email.

Delhi-Varanasi project costs around 1.5 trillion, whereas Mumbai-Nagpur is slightly less than the former. The spokesperson of NHSRCL also added that the DPR of the New Delhi-Varanasi corridor is based on multiple studies like land requirements, impact on surrounding villages, expected ridership, social impact assessment etc. NHSRCL executes India’s first Bullet train project between Mumbai-Ahmedabad, but the progress is relatively slow due to acquisition or route alignment. The 500 km plus section involves an investment of more than 1 trillion with trains plying at close to 300Km per hour, and they use the Japanese E5 Shinkansen technology. The trial run on 50Km sections between Surat to Vilimura is expected to occur in 2026. Apart from this, the other seven bullet train projects which got the nod from the Centre are as follows: Chennai-Mysore, Delhi-Ahmedabad, Mumbai-Hyderabad, Delhi-Amritsar, Varanasi-Howrah, Mumbai-Nagpur, Delhi-Varanasi. The national transporter also invites the private sector to run trains on the Indian Railways network.
