Ghaziabad Development Authority denies giving land for RRTS depot

GHAZIABAD (Metro Rail News): On Thursday, the Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) expressed its inability to provide 30 hectares from the land it has acquired for the Madhuban-Bapudham housing scheme to the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) for construction of an RRTS depot there.

On Thursday in Lucknow, Asheesh Shivpuri, GDA’s chief architect and town planner said, “We have apprised the government about the unavailability of the land.” The government was informed during a meeting chaired by the principal secretary (housing and urban planning department).

The depot was earlier supposed to come up in Duhai. But the demand for land at Madhuban-Bapudham was necessitated after NCRTC and farmers from Duhai failed to arrive at a consensus on land compensation rates.

Coimbatore Metro: Four corridors with 136 km network

Coimbatore, India (Metro Rail News): Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) officials has recently held a meeting with the state highways department after the feasibility study for the Coimbatore metro rail project suggested a corridor through the Ukkadam-Sungam Bypass.

The state highway department officials have raised their objections on the proposed extension of the flyover and suggested to turn the flyover at Ukkadam-Sungam junction to form an elevated loop at the place where the Ukkadam bus stand is located before getting down at Ukkadam-Sungam Bypass.

A senior official from the department said, “We had submitted the proposal to the state government and are waiting for the nod.

As per the report submitted by the private consultancy firm Systra after conducting a feasibility study, the Coimbatore metro rail project will be implemented in four corridors covering a total network length of 136 km.

These four proposed metro corridors are-

  • From Karanampettai on Trichy Road to Thaneerpandal on Thadagam Road (42 km)
  • From Kaniyur to Ukkadam via Avinashi Road (26 km)
  • From Pilichi to Ukkadam via Mettupalayam Road (24 km)
  • From Ganeshapuram to Karunya Nagar via Sathy Road (44 km)

“As a ground-level corridor connecting Karanampetti and Thaneerpandal through Ukkadam-Sungam Bypass was suggested, it might affect the proposed design of the flyover project. Also, considering the vehicle flow, it is difficult to provide the 10 meters required to lay the railway track on the road,” said the state highway department official.

The state highway department officials said that talks are being held with CMRL officials to find a solution before proceeding with the Coimbatore metro rail project.

“During the first meeting held a week ago, the highways department had suggested to form the corridor through Lanka Corner instead of passing it through Ukkadam-Sungam Bypass. We will meet again in a week”, they said.

As the 1.97-km-long Ukkadam Flyover project recently commenced, hence the department had proposed to make changes on both sides of the flyover – towards Athupalam and Town Hall.

It was also proposed to extend the flyover for another 600 meters up to Athupalam junction.

According to plan, a 300-meter-long loop will be constructed between Palakkad and Pollachi Road and on the other side, it was proposed to cut off the flyover by 244 meters from Naaz Theatre and form an elevated loop before connecting the roads towards Sungam and Town Hall.

ICF to manufacture 720 semi-high speed trains coaches

New Delhi, India (Metro Rail News): The Railway Board has approved the production of 720 coaches for 45 new semi-high speed trains by 2021-22.

The order was given to Indian Railways owned Integral Coach Factory (ICF), Chennai to develop 720 coaches at the international standard of comfort and safety. These new coaches will be manufactured in line with Vande Bharat Express trains (Train-18).

last week, The decision to approve the manufacture of the new trains by the Integral Coach Factory (ICF) was taken in a high-level meeting held in New Delhi. The opinion of the heads of the Rail Coach Factory (RCF), Kapurthala, and the Modern Coach Factory (MCF), Raebareli, was also sought on their capability to make the new train sets so that they could be included in the program to roll out the 45 semi-high speed trains (Vande Bharat Express) by 2021-22.

In a letter sent to the General Manager, Integral Coach Factory (ICF), Chennai on Saturday, the Railway Board accorded its sanction for the ICF to proceed with the procurement process immediately according to the specifications and guidelines issued by the Research Designs and Standards Organisation (RDSO).

Now ICF will float fresh tenders to procure the propulsion system with revised guidelines on the design and eligibility criteria of suppliers. In the letter written to ICF, it was told to ensure that there was no compromise on the ‘Make in India’ policy of the Central Government.

“This is a huge success for the ICF that manufactured Train18, India’s first semi-high speed train in a record 18-month time in 2018. The indigenously built self-propelled train launched as Vande Bharat Express between New Delhi and Varanasi by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in February, has been acknowledged as one of the most successful products of the Make in India campaign. The second rake flagged off a couple of months ago is operating between New Delhi and Katra. The production was halted over the alleged procedural flaws in the making of the train,” a senior railway officer said.

Earlier, all tenders which were floated to manufacture more Train-18 rakes were withdrawn after receiving certain complaints by the Railway Board and a Vigilance investigation initiated into the allegations that included one company being favoured in the making of the first two rakes of Vande Bharat Express (Train 18).

Even as the investigation was on, the Railway Board had proposed to procure 100 new semi-high speed trains by floating global tenders.

Another reason to halting the production at the ICF was that the Train-18 were found to be heavier and also consuming more power compared to the Shatabdi Express. During the production of 45 new semi-high speed rakes, Railway will invest at least Rs 5,000 crores in the procurement of materials.
