Officials said the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (Yeida) and the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) signed a memorandum of understanding on Thursday to prepare a feasibility report for a Metro corridor to provide direct connectivity between Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport and the upcoming Noida International Airport at Jewar.

The Shivaji Stadium Metro station on the DMRC’s airport express line is expected to be the starting point for this projected Metro route in Delhi. To go to the airport at Jewar, it will most likely pass through Greater Noida’s Pari Chowk.

DMRC has been hired by Yeida to work on the project in two parts, according to officials. In the presence of the authority’s chief executive officer Arun Vir Singh and DMRC’s business development officer Pramit Garg, the memorandum of understanding was signed at Yeida’s Sector Omega-2 office.

“We have requested DMRC to provide a complete project report for the 35.64-kilometre Metro project from Greater Noida’s Pari Chowk to Jewar, where the Noida international airport is being built,” says the statement. A feasibility assessment for a Metro link between Pari Chowk in Greater Noida and Delhi’s Shivaji Stadium has also been assigned to DMRC. After signing the MoU, Yeida CEO Arun Vir Singh remarked, “This corridor will provide smooth connectivity between Delhi’s IGI airport via the airport Metro’s airport express line.”

In the following nine months, Yeida has asked DMRC to prepare the project report and feasibility report.

Yamuna International Airport Private Limited has begun development on the airport project, which is projected to be completed by 2024. Officials from Yeida stated they hoped to have the Metro link and the airport operational at the same time. They stated that after the project report is completed, the financial modalities will be finalised.

“We want to give multi-model connectivity from Noida airport to the rest of Delhi-NCR so that people may travel in comfort,” says the company. The Metro project will be critical for the new airport since it will assist commuters greatly,” Singh added.

After the IGI airport and the civilian terminal at Ghaziabad’s Hindon airport, the airport is expected to be the largest in India and the third in the NCR. The Uttar Pradesh government approved the design of the Jewar airport in December 2020. The new international airport is expected to help Delhi airport cope with its growing passenger load.

Yamuna International Airport Private Limited, a special purpose organisation established to handle the airport project, has started erecting boundary walls and levelling the ground. The airport is scheduled to open in 2024 and will cost roughly 20,000 crores to build.

The government also intends to build a smart city on 1,400 acres of land near the airport.

Weekdays Ridership in Chennai Metro improves slowly and steadily

CHENNAI, INDIA (Metro Rail News): After the lockdown, the metro trains were run with 50 per cent occupancy and now with 100 per cent occupancy. Still, at both times, people do not want to travel in the metro due to fear and other reasons, but now the ratio is increasing, especially on weekdays.

According to the Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) report, on weekdays, ridership has increased up to 6 lakhs in just one month.

“While a total of 18.4 lakhs commuters took the trains in July, the ridership touched 22.4 lakhs in August 2021. On 27th August 2021, there are approximately 90,000 commuters travel in the metro. After schools and colleges reopening, maybe it will boost ridership”.

Indian Railways’ net-zero objective for 2030 may save Rs 17,000 crore while reducing CO2 emissions by 15 MT.

NEW DELHI (METRO RAIL NEWS): In 2020, Indian Railways set a goal of being the world’s first net-zero emissions railway network by 2030. According to an environmental analysis released on Wednesday, if this occurs, it might result in a decrease of at least 15 million tonnes of CO2 emissions yearly, which could help the country fulfil 5% of its Nationally Determined Contributions target. Furthermore, it has the potential to save Rs 17,000 crore a year in fuel expenditures as well as other savings. According to an IE report, the environment report titled “Riding Sunbeams in India” is prepared by Delhi-based Climate Trends, United Kingdom-based Possible, and Riding Sunbeams.

The Indian Railways network is believed to be one of the world’s largest rail networks. The national transporter transports around 2.3 crore passengers per day and 1,160 MT of freight annually, which necessitates massive energy consumption, making it India’s largest power consumer as well as third largest fuel consumer. The national transporter used 2,749 billion litres of fuel, 17,682 terawatt-hours of power, and 1,000 tonnes of coal during the fiscal year 2018-19, accounting for 4% of India’s total greenhouse gas emissions. According to the research, the transportation industry as a whole accounts for 12% of greenhouse gas emissions. The government authorised plans in 2018 to electrify the entire Indian Railways network by 2023. Indian Railways increased its objective to reach net-zero emissions by 2030 in July of last year.

According to the analysis, changing all existing diesel traction to electric traction would result in an increase of 32% in CO2 emissions at first due to the country’s reliance on coal to generate electricity. To equal the traction energy supplied by the power grid, the national transporter would need to either procure its own clean electricity supply from wind and solar generators directly connected into the railway network or construct new grid-connected renewable projects. According to the article, the company intends to add 20 GW of solar for both traction and non-traction loads.

Indian Railways has identified approximately 51,000 hectares of barren land as ideal for solar production. The national carrier and the Railway Ministry have launched the Railway Energy Management Company, a joint venture organisation to facilitate the development of solar PV and wind energy projects to meet Indian Railways’ energy needs.

The Indian railway network is expanding its renewable energy strategy, including the tendering of 3 GW of solar projects this year, as well as the commissioning of 103 MW of wind power. According to the research, the approved electrification will generate 20.4 crore man-days of direct employment during the construction phase.

As of March 2021, around 71% of India’s conventional (broad gauge) rails are electrified, making Indian Railways the world’s third-largest electrified rail network after Russia and China. In addition, the national transporter has smashed the yearly railway electrification record with over 6,000 RKM wired in 12 months, and it is on track to be entirely electrified by the end of 2023. Moreover, a variety of other initiatives are underway, including the replacement of diesel locomotives with electric, the construction of DFCs with high-speed rail, and the installation of 24 rooftop solar panels at 900 railway stations, among others.

The paper also predicts that by 2030, railway energy demand will have increased from 21 billion kilowatt-hours to 33 billion kilowatt-hours and that it will be totally provided by renewable energy, reducing the nation’s diesel usage and enhancing energy security.
