Noida: The Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC) started its first official trial run today at 3:30 pm on Aqua line which connecting Noida and Greater Noida. NMRC MD Alok Tandon and DMRC MD Mangu Singh have flagged off the first Metro train trial run jointly.

mangu singh — first official trial run today at 3:30 pm on Aqua line which connecting Noida and Greater Noida.

Initially, the subway will run between Greater Noida Depot and Knowledge Park 2 subway station, a stretch of around 6 km, after testing and authorization, according to an official statement.

The total length of this subway link is 29.07 km and is called the Noida-Greater Noida Metro Rail corridor. It has 21 metro stations, with the Noida Sector 71 in Noida and the Delta Depot station in Greater Noida, which are the two terminal stations, according to the statement.

The rolling stock of this corridor is being acquired by CRRC Limited, a Chinese state-owned manufacturer. DMRC signed the memorandum of understanding on behalf of Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC) Ltd with CRRC Corporation Limited in March 2016. Standard gauge trains are manufactured at the Nanjing plant.

Standard-width trains are manufactured at the Nanjing plant. The train with 4 coaches arrived in Greater Noida on December 14, 2017. The tests and validations of the basic movement were made during the last fortnight

The train has been designed with ‘Aqua Blue’ as the theme color. Each train will be composed of four coaches with a total capacity of 186 passengers. The total passenger capacity of the train (seats + standing) is approximately 1,000 passengers under load conditions.

The runner will have a total of 19 train sets (that is, 76 coaches). The trains are expected to arrive every two weeks, according to the statement.

Each train has two trailers and two cars and the total number of seats in both is 43 and 50, respectively. Each trainer has ports for mobile and USB charging, 6 backlit LCD screens (liquid crystal displays) and 4 dynamic route maps.

Dedicated space has been provided for passengers traveling in wheelchairs on towing cars at both ends of the trains, he added.

The civil work of this 29,7 km long standard width corridor with 21 stations was completed in November 2017 with the construction of the last beam. Track laying and system works are in progress.

During the test, the train will undergo rigorous signaling tests. During tests and test runs, the Metro train interface will be checked to ensure there are no physical infractions with the civil infrastructure during the movement of the train on the track and tests will also be carried out on several bus subsystems.

The authorities of Noida and Gran Noida have decided to have their own Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), jointly financed by the authorities of the two cities, on behalf of the NMRC.

After the execution of the test and the technical authorization, the Metro service will be opened and opened to the public. It is expected that the Prime Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath, will inaugurate it, the statement said.

The goal of NMRC is to facilitate mass transit and other urban transport in the twin cities, he said. “NMRC’s vision is to develop a world-class subway with sustainable development, whose mission is to provide safe, reliable and environmentally friendly transportation services for people,” he added.

NMRC said it had started an urban bus service last year and that its fleet is connecting Metro stations in Noida and also connecting it to several sectors in Greater Noida.

This metropolitan corridor is built by the DMRC on the basis of a turnkey consultancy. For this, a memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed with the DMRC in October 2014.

He said there is also a plan to implement ‘a city, a card’ as a smart card for this subway corridor and NMRC feeder buses.

This corridor will have the initiative of green energy since generations of solar power of 10 MW are planned from solar panels installed on the roofs of Metro stations.

The provision of rainwater collection will also be available at all stations and along the viaduct.

In addition to this Metro corridor, NMRC will develop two other subway corridors. A corridor is 14.95 km between Sector 71-72 of Noida to the V Knowledge Park Greater Noida that has 9 metro stations. Another corridor that will develop the NMRC is 10,922 km from Okhla Birds Sanctuary to Sector 142 Noida with eight stations.

Aradhana Patel

02/01/2018

New Delhi: It is a good initiative by Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) to make its new Magenta Line as a green corridor. DMRC has already floated a tender in this regard.

The first section of the Magenta Line between the Botanical Garden in Noida and Kalkaji Mandir in South Delhi was opened to the public on December 25, 2017. The rest of the corridor, between Kalkaji Mandir and Janakpuri West, is scheduled for March.

In addition to providing connectivity and state-of-the-art trains and signaling technology in the corridor, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has also gone the extra mile to make it one of its greenest corridors. DMRC has planned extensive landscaping around many stations in the corridor, such as the Janakpuri West interchange station, where a large section would remain as an open green area with trees.

Going beyond its stations, DMRC is also remodeling parks near the corridor to turn them into vibrant public spaces.

Hyderabad Metro | HMRL to close deal with German Bank KfW for Rs 1,000 crore loan

Mamta Shah

30/12/2017

Hyderabad: One month after its launch, the Hyderabad Metro Rail project is still stabilizing in its first phase of operation, but the administration is already preparing funds for further development. The administration is near an agreement with the German development bank KfW for a loan of Rs 1,000 crore for urban rejuvenation along with the rail metro project. “We are in talks with the German Development Bank KfW to raise around Rs. 1,000 crore for the urban rejuvenation project, without a high interest burden, say less than 2%, and a long repayment period.”, NVS Reddy said.

The initial negotiations have been completed and it is expected that a detailed project report (DPR) will be ready soon. The funds will be used for urban rejuvenation activities, including the installation of sidewalks, rails, FOB and other services after the construction of the subway, Reddy added.

Media had previously reported that talks were also held with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) seeking official development assistance (ODA) for its second expansion phase for another 100 km. The initial phase of the 72 km elevated metro project, 30 km long stretch with 24 stations, was launched on November 28, 2017. It is expected that the remaining stretch of the project will start at the end of next year.

Being the largest metro rail project under the public-private partnership (PPP) model, Hyderabad Metro expects to reach break-even in 2022. “Of the 250 meter rail projects in the world, only four are making money. Hong Kong, Tokyo and Taipei, while 50% of revenues come from passenger tickets, 45% from real estate development and 5% from advertisements and others, “said Reddy.

“It’s too early to say about traffic, passenger figures are growing slowly and we expect it to stabilize in the next two months, on average, a lakh of passengers travel every day and we expect to reach a break-even point after five years when The whole stretch is completed”, He added. The data indicate that about 32.25 lakh passengers have been transported by Hyderabad Metro and more than 1.5 lakh of smart cards have been issued to date.

“The smaller stations, which are in high-density areas, are seeing minimal crowds, which means that the metro rail is not preferred for short-haul trips, and some central stretches are still to be completed where there are a lot of people, “said one observer.

For starters, some observers say that the rates have to be lower than the current ones. L&T Metro Rail Hyderabad (LTMRHL) said rates will start from a minimum of 10 rupees for a distance of up to two kilometers and the maximum fare is `60 for a distance of more than 26 km.

HMRL also has to fill many deficiencies, such as the construction of parking areas, toilets, drinking water and other facilities to gather people, according to one observer. Technical problems such as defective doors, signal problems and maintenance problems have caused delays in your daily services, even up to 20 minutes, sometimes.

Apparently, train schedules are not published regularly and a timetable has not yet been published. Larsen & Toubro received the Hyderabad Metro Rail project from the government of Andhra Pradesh. LTMRHL, a special purpose vehicle (SPV), was formed to implement the project based on design, construction, operation and transfer of financing (DBFOT). The company signed the concession agreement with the former government of Andhra Pradesh in 2010 and completed the financial closure for the project in 2011.

A consortium of 10 banks led by the State Bank of India has sanctioned the total debt requirement for the project. This is the largest bond fund in India for a non-energy infrastructure PPP project. The cost of the project at the time of signing the dealership contract in 2010 was Rs 14,132 crore. Around Rs 16,511 crore have been spent so far on LTMRHL projects and the Telangana government. On average, `60 million rupees was spent per station and Rs 250 million per exchange station.

Delhi Metro | DMRC receives eleven EOIs for supply of 25 Metro trains in response to a bid

driverless metro — Driverless Metro Train in India

New Delhi: The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has floated a tender to deploy 25 trains, each with six coaches, under lease, have come one step closer to reality, and the entity received 11 expressions of interest (EoI) of six possible financiers. and five possible manufacturers of rolling stock. They are willing to sign a tripartite agreement with DMRC to manufacture, finance and lease buses for a period of 30 years. This lease proposal is based on a new public-private partnership (PPP) model, which Indian Railways is testing for the first time. Invest India, created under the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), analyzed metro systems around the world before recommending the hire of buses under the PPP model to the DMRC. These models to finance and hire trainers exist in Australia, the United Kingdom and throughout Europe.

The advantage of the leasing model is that the DMRC will not have to make an initial capital investment or incur any maintenance costs during the coaches’ entire 30-year life cycle. Instead, it will pay the concessionaire the rented trains for hours. HS Anand, director – rolling stock, DMRC, said that the private partner would not be required to assume any risk, a key concern of the private sector in PPP projects. He told Media, “DMRC is guaranteeing the hourly requirement of the trains, whether I have a passenger or not, it is not their risk, they will be paid as long as they make the trains available according to our requirements and bring them on time.”

By the way, the number of passengers in the Delhi metro exceeded 100 million rupees in a single fiscal year in fiscal year 17, and averaged 30 lakh daily, according to the data available on the DMRC website. Financial entities such as Mitsubishi Financial Group, Mitsui & Co, Equus Asia, the National Infrastructure Investment Fund (NIIF), IL & FS Financial Services and I Squared Capital have presented EoIs. Among the manufacturers of rolling stock, the companies evaluated for the second bidding round are: Bombardier of Canada, the French multinational Alstom, Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles de España, BEML of India and the manufacturer of electric locomotives of China CRRC Zhuzhou Locomotive Company.

Anand explained that the winning bidder will be paid by the hour. He said: “Bidders will have to present the hourly availability rate of the trains, based on this and the other criteria mentioned in the tender, the net present value (NPV) will be calculated, who is able to offer the best NPV. will be the preferred provider and will be selected. ” Anand said that the evaluation of the EoIs would end in March, and then the selected ones will be asked to submit their requests for proposals (RFP). “This will take around two months, and we hope to finish the winning bidder in July or August of 2018.” If the first pilot is successful, the DMRC can request another 100 coaches under the terms of the contract, bringing the total number of leased coaches to 250.

The DMRC currently does not reach some 916 coaches, which would imply a capital expenditure of approximately 13,000 million rupees if purchased directly. If successful, the model could have a significant impact on metro projects being executed across the country. In fact, the American infrastructure consultant Louis Berger already recommended this lease model under a PPP contract for the proposed metro projects in Bhopal and Indore.

Kshitish Nadgauda, vice president and general manager (Asia), Louis Berger, told Media: “This model is ideal since smaller cities require only about 100 buses and the basic maintenance equipment required could be too expensive for an operation On the contrary, maintenance can be taken care of by manufacturers that are in a better position to do so and that can provide a lot of efficiency, being able to avoid this type of capital expenditure can make a big difference to guarantee the viability of a project “.

Delhi Metro | DMRC to add 120 km Metro Rail network in phase-III in 2018

Aradhana Patel

29/12/2017

New Delhi: Starting in March 2018, many new lines of the Delhi metro network will begin to operate. With the completion of the Phase III expansion of Delhi Metro Rail Corporation, the metro rail system of the Indian capital would become the fourth largest in the world with more than 350 km of corridors. Its current network covers 231 km after the recent opening of the Botanical Garden-Kalkaji Mandir section of the Magenta Line.

Anuj Dayal, executive director (corporate communications) of DMRC, said that the Delhi Metro has 173 operating stations at this time, making it the ninth largest metro system in the world. “After the completion of Phase III, we will have a network of over 375 km, including the Noida-Greater Noida corridor, and it would be the largest after Shanghai, Beijing and London,” Dayal said. The Noida-Greater Noida corridor would be part of the Delhi metro network with an exchange at the next Noida Sector 52 station. Although built by DMRC, this corridor would be operated by Noida Metro Rail Corporation.

It is expected that the next Delhi Metro corridor to be opened will be the Kalkaji Mandir-Janakpuri West corridor of the Magenta Line, whose first section was opened by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on December 25. The corridor has already approached Noida to the south of Delhi, but when the line extends to Janakpuri West, the distance between Noida and Gurgaon would also be reduced with the availability of interchange at the Hauz Khas station with the Yellow Line (HUDA City Center-Samaypur Badli). DMRC is committed to completing the section by March 2018, although its opening for commercial operations will depend on the safety clearance of the Metro Rail Safety Commissioner.

The Kalkaji Mandir-Janakpuri West corridor would also bring the Domestic Terminal 1 of the Indira Gandhi International Airport on the subway map. Currently, IGIA is connected to the city center through the Express Express high-speed line, but the corridor has no direct connectivity with Terminal 1 that handles domestic flights.

March 2018 will also see the completion of the huge Pink Line (Majlis Park-Shiv Vihar) with a length of 58.59 km. The Pink Line will act as a ‘Ring Corridor’ connecting most of Delhi. However, a small section of the corridor, between Mayur Vihar Pocket 1 and Trilokpuri, will not be part of the line due to problems related to the land and, therefore, will remain a missing link. The Pink Line will convert the Delhi Metro network into an intricate network by bringing existing corridors into 10 different exchange points, including with the Airport Express Line at the Dhaula Kuan station.

In 2018, DMRC will also make its third incursion into Haryana after Gurgaon and Faridabad by extending the Green Line to Bahadurgarh. DMRC will also extend the Violet Line of Mujesar Escorts in Faridabad to Ballabhgarh next year. The extension of Blue Line from the city center of Noida to the electronic city of Noida will not only bring the Delhi metro to many sectors of Noida, but also to areas of Ghaziabad such as Indirapuram.

Nagpur Metro | NMRC government increase the stamp duty by 1% in the Metro Rail corridor

Aradhana Patel

29/12/2017

Nagpur: The Ministry of Housing and Urban Development has approved the proposal to increase the stamp duty by 1% in the Metro Rail corridor. Duty now will be 7.5% instead of 6.5%. The registration charge of 1% (maximum 30,000 rupees) will remain unchanged. The stamp duty on the city, except the area under the Metro corridor, will remain at 6.5%. The corridor is the area that is 500 meters on both sides of the Metro road.

While the stamp duty was increased, the proposal to increase the floor to space index (FSI) in the Metro corridor is still under consideration. The government is also thinking of increasing the development charges imposed while sanctioning a building in the corridor.

The decision to increase the stamp duty is very important for Nagpur Metro Rail Corporation Limited (NMRCL) since it will get half the revenue generated by a 1% surcharge charge. The remaining 50% will go to Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) or Nagpur Improvement Trust (NIT) depending on the ownership of the property.

According to the builders, the draft of the FSI walk proposal needs many changes. The Metro corridor where the highest FSI is applicable should be 1 km on both sides of the Metro road. There should be no limit on the size of the dwelling and the density of tenements. Balconies should be allowed in the marginal space around the buildings and the premium for the additional FSI should be less than 40% of the immediate registration value.

Bangalore Metro | BMRC to change aerial cables and power poles to widen the road from Silk Board Junction

Aradhana Patel

29/12/2017

Bangaluru: The Jayadeva flyover, which has served Bangalorians for 11 years, will soon be replaced by the city’s first overpass from the Silk Board junction to Ragigudda, whose plans have been developed by Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited ( BMRL). The demolition of the flyover will start at the end of January.

As a first step, BMRCL and other civic agencies have begun to change aerial cables and power poles to widen the road from Silk Board Junction to Ragigudda Junction at Jayanagar 9th Block, and both sides of the overpass will soon be barricaded for demolition.

BMRCL has issued the work order to the contractors, Hindustan Construction Company (HCC) and URC Construction, for the construction of five elevated stations, elevated road by rail and extension of roads in the section at a cost of Rs 797.29crore, while A Mumbai based company that specializes in the dismantling of structures will handle the demolition.

The corporation said that the explosives will not be used for demolition, given the proximity of the structure to Jayadeva Hospital. The demolition work is expected to continue for three months, and this is the first time that BMRCL is demolishing a flyover on a well-traveled stretch.

Deputy General Secretary Mahendra Jain said: “We will take all measures to ensure that there is a minimum of disturbance.The demolition work of the airlift will be limited to the night hours (10pm to 6am) and the traffic will be completely blocked. reduce air pollution. ”

In 2006, the Bangalore Development Authority spent Rs 21crore to build the flyover to reduce congestion at Bannerghatta Road and Jayanagar, but BMRCL says the new 3km overpass will be more effective.

Recently, the Bangalore traffic police granted a certificate of no objection to BMRCL to demolish the overpass of an elevated road from Silk Board Junction to Ragigudda, and an interchange metro station connecting the RV Road-Bommasandra line and the line Gottigere-Nagawara of Phase II.

They will soon come up with diversion plans that are expected to remain for many months, since work on the new overpass will take more than three years. “We are already struggling with congestion, especially during rush hour, the demolition will only increase congestion and also waste taxpayers’ money,” said K Srinivas, a regular traveler on Bannerghatta Road.
