Noida Metro|NGT notice to MoEF on Noida-Greater Noida metro line

New Delhi: The National Green Tribunal has sought the response of Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) and Uttar Pradesh government among others on a petition challenging the construction of upcoming Noida-Greater Noida metro line.

A bench headed by NGT Chairperson Justice Swatanter Kumar issued notice to Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF), Delhi and Noida Metro Rail Corporation, Uttar Pradesh government and others while seeking their reply by November 24.

The tribunal was hearing a plea filed by environmentalist Vikrant Tongad seeking directions to Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC) to obtain environmental clearance for its project from Noida to Greater Noida after conducting proper Environment Impact Assessment of the project.

“From the detailed project report (DPR) it is clear that the total land requirement for the project of metro rail from Noida to Greater Noida is around 2,84,762.01 sq m, however, no Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) report was prepared. This fact was verified by the applicant by inspecting the records of the project under Right to Information Act, 2005.

“It is submitted that as per 8(b) of the Schedule of EIA Notification, 2006 project having covering area more than 50 ha or built up area more than 150000 sq m requires environmental clearance and is to be appraised as category ‘B1’ project,” the plea, filed through advocate Rahul Choudhary, said.

Tongad stated that the metro from Noida to Greater Noida will pass through Hindon and piers would be constructed on the river bed which can significantly harm aquatic habitat of the river.

“During construction phase of the project, the total water requirement is about 1,40,00,000 litres. The water requirement would be met to by digging borewells. The detailed project report states that the water is made available by borewell within the vicinity of the project site during the construction phase.

“The requirement water for operation phase is not clear from the DPR. It is submitted that the extraction of groundwater will have further impact of the depleting groundwater level of Noida and Greater Noida,” the plea added.

Delhi Metro|Now Noida City Centre metro station would be known as Wave City Centre

Noida: Commuters were taken by surprise on Wednesday when the sign board at Sector-32 read, Wave City Centre metro station. The change of name of Noida City Centre metro station was made as the real estate firm Wave Infratech, in April this year, had won the bid for naming and marketing rights of the station for the next 10 years.

Wave has also got the 500 sq metre of advertisement space to advertise its brand.

Similarly, the city can also expect four new stations in a brand new avatar. Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) had introduced the idea of renaming the stations in June last year, as a part of its attempt to generate revenue.

In December last year, the Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC) had also announced that the they will auction metro stations along the 28 km Noida-Greater Noida metro link, following the footsteps of Gurgaon’s Rapid Metro, which has already named metro stations after various brands.

The aim to brand metro station is being done to ensure that the transportation project gets additional revenue from sources other than tickets.

Chennai Metro|St. Thomas Mount Metro station work yet to be completed

Chennai: The St. Thomas Mount station, one of the biggest elevated stations of the Chennai Metro Rail, has not been completed yet even five months after the first train carrying commuters ran on the stretch.

The station was planned to be commissioned in time for the first service between Koyambedu and St. Thomas Mount, but slow construction work at that time forced the officials to stop the service at Alandur station itself.

But, officials of the Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) said the construction work was going on as per schedule and there was no delay.

“The track work from Alandur to St. Thomas Mount was completed sometime ago. The station work will also be over in the coming months,” an official said.

One of the reasons for the delay in the construction of the station was the termination of the contract of Consolidated Construction Consortium Ltd. (CCCL) more than a year ago and the subsequent awarding of the contract to another company.

This station — that integrates MRTS station — would see at least 5,000 people travelling through it and also have parking facility for about 1000 vehicles. Recently, the officials launched a trial run from Officers’ Training Academy (OTA) to Little Mount.

In the coming weeks, they would extend the trial run from Alandur to St. Thomas Mount. The State government announced that the service between the Little Mount and the Chennai airport would be launched in 2016, and officials were planning to commission the station around the same time.

St. Thomas Mount station will see at least 5,000 people travelling through it

Bangalore Metro|Land Acquisition Process Begins for Metro line near Electronics City

Bengaluru: The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation (BMRCL) has issued a preliminary notification to acquire 48 acres near Electronics City for its new East-West line.

“It has been published in the gazette as part of our process to acquire 297 properties for the 8 km stretch between Chikka Begur and Bommasandra,” M S Channappagoudar, General Manager, Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation (BMRCL), told City Express.

The route in Electronics City will pass through the property of IT major Infosys. “We have already had a meeting with the company and they have agreed in principle to permit the line through their premises. They will allow us to construct piers and lay the line,” he explained.

The new stretch constitutes a vital IT corridor as part of the new line planned between R V Road and Bommasandra via Silk Board. It runs to 18.8 km and covers 16 stations.

Eight stations — Chikka Begur, Baspur Road, Hosa Road, Electronic City-I, Electronic City-II, Huskur Road, Hebbagodi and Bommasandra — figure on the 8 km stretch.

We have issued a notification to acquire land for a Metro depot at Hebbagodi. We will use 28 acres for the depot and 20 for the viaducts (rail lines) and stations,” he said.

On the process that follows the notification, he said objections would be invited from the public. The Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board (KIADB) will then issue notifications to each property owner. A final consolidated notification follows.

“The process will take five to six months,” he said. The actual acquisition and demolition of properties begin.

The compensation for the 297 properties is yet to be calculated. The entire Phase-II network though involves acquiring 280 acres from government departments and private owners and the compensation is likely to add up to more than `5,000 crore.

Notifications to acquire properties on the stretch between RV Road and Silk Board had been issued last year and the stretch between Silk Board and Munishwara Nagar early this year. The other new line in Phase II is the 21.2-km North-South line between Gottigere and Nagavara which connects 18 stations.

“A notification has been issued to acquire 26 acres behind Meenakshi temple in Kothanur for a depot.”

Delhi Metro|HUDA City Centre-Samaypur Badli (Line-2) to be ready by November 2015

New Delhi: After the mandatory safety audit being cancelled the first time, the Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety (CMRS) is going to inspect the extension of the Huda City Centre–Jahangirpuri line to Samaypur Badli on Wednesday and Thursday. The 4.49-km stretch connecting Outer Delhi areas is likely to be opened by next month.

Earlier, the line was to be inspected by the CMRS on October 12-13, which later got cancelled by the commissioner owing to some ‘urgent work’.

Though this extension of the yellow line is relatively smaller with just three stations, it is bound to make commuting easier for lakhs of people residing in areas like Jahangirpuri, Samaypur Badli, Transport Nagar, G.

T.Karnal Road, and parts of Rohini. The average ridership on this section is expected to be around 30,000. At present, Jahangirpuri is one of the terminal stations on the yellow line and its commuters have to change multiple trains to get to the heart of the Capital. The three elevated stations under this section are Badli Mor, Rohini Sector 18, and Samaypur Badli.

By 2016, the ridership on this route is expected to touch 7,186 at Badli; 11,133 at Rohini Sector-18; and 10,262 at Samaypur Badli. Once operational, after the trial runs and the mandatory approvals, the length of the yellow line from HUDA City Centre in Gurgaon to Samaypur Badli will be 49 km. The line was earlier set to open in March. Trial runs on the Jahangirpuri-Samaypur Badli corridor began on July 3. The Badli Mor station on the corridor has been designed in a way that the structure will allow expansion under the proposed phase-IV. Under phase-IV, the station will offer inter-change service between the proposed R.K.Ashram-Mukundpur-Janakpuri (West) section that will connect the presently operational Line 2 with Line 7 (Majlis Park-Shiv Vihar) and Line 8 (Janakpuri West-Botanical Garden), which are being constructed as part of phase III.

Mumbai: The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) which has built a Metro network of over 200 kilometres in the national capital, will construct a Metro line in Mumbai from Dahisar West to DN Nagar in the western suburbs.

The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) approved the decision at its executive committee meeting Thursday. The authority will finance the construction of the 18.5-km Dahisar-DN Nagar Metro. The DMRC will call for bids and execute it on a cash-contract basis.

The MMRDA executive committee also approved DMRC’s role as interim consultant in another Metro project – the 16.5-km Andheri East to Dahisar East line.

A senior MMRDA official said, “The DMRC will act as the interim consultant and we will soon appoint a general consultant for the project. Bids for construction of the two projects are also likely to be floated in about a month.”

The Dahisar West-DN Nagar Metro corridor is expected to cost Rs 6,410 crore. The Dahisar East-Andheri East Metro will cost Rs 6,208 crore. The MMRDA is planning to partially finance the Metro lines through a loan from the Asian Development Bank.

The MMRDA executive committee headed by Chief Secretary Swadheen Kshatriya also approved the purchase of 25 electric and hybrid buses from Tata Motors to ply within the Bandra Kurla Complex. Sanjay Sethi, additional metropolitan commissioner at the MMRDA said, “The demand for a bus service had been there for quite some time.”

Hyderabad Metro|Metro rail reaches another milestone

Hyderabad: L&T Metro Rail Hyderabad (L&TMRH) has announced the first test run on the complete stretch of Miyapur to S.R. Nagar, stage two, as per the construction schedule for the concessionaire which is building the project, and will also be running it.

The test run was conducted on the overhead viaduct on corridor one (Red Line) Miyapur to S.R. Nagar on the auspicious Dasara day (Oct.22). This is an important step towards making the 10-km. section, including the Bharatnagar rail over bridge ready for commercial operations, said chief executive and managing director V.B. Gadgil on Monday.

But before that, the metro rail authorities have to conduct several tests on the rolling stock, signalling, track, overhead electrical equipment and other systems. Engineers will test for brakes, electromagnetic interference, passenger addressing, CCTVs, doors, ventilation, air conditioning, rescue operations, rail over bridge loading tests, etc.

Earlier, L&TMRH had conducted test runs between Miyapur and Kukatpally for a distance of 4.4-km in May. There are more than 10 coach trains sourced from Hyundai Rotem (South Korea) in the Miyapur depot, a 100 acre site and second largest depot for the Hyderabad Metro Rail project.

It is next only to Uppal depot which is of equal size where the main controlling centre of the project is nearing completion. There are about 18 three coach trains stationed there and trail as well as test runs have been completed on the first stage of the construction project – Nagole to Mettuguda, an eight kilometre stretch. It comes under Corridor Three – Nagole to Raidurg or the Blue Line. Second Corridor is between Jubilee Bus Station to Falaknuma or the Green Line.

Noida Metro|Second Metro link to Noida by December 2016

New Delhi: Connectivity to Noida via the New Delhi Metro corridor is set to be sooner than scheduled. The Janakpuri (west) to Botanical Garden line, which will have two stations in Noida, was scheduled to be complete by July 2017 on the Noida end. It will now be completed by December 2016-January 2017, said sources at Delhi Metro Rail Corporation.

The Janakpuri (west)-Botanical Garden corridor, also known as line 8, will only be the second corridor to connect Delhi with neighbouring Noida. According to officials, line 8 was supposed to be completed by 2016 till Kalindi Kunj, which is the Delhi side of the corridor. This was to be commissioned in sections. On the Noida side though, the two stations-Okhla Bird Sanctuary and Botanical Garden-were to be completed by mid-2017.

“The agreement with the Noida Authority was that the stations would be completed 33 months from the transfer of land, which made completion target as 2017,” said a senior official to Media. However, with work progressing rapidly – officials said 35 percent of the civil work has been completed already. “It will now be completed by December 2016, or January 2017 at the latest. It will become operational thereafter, after all the due clearances,” added the official.

Line 8 will go 3.9km into Noida. This section will directly connect Noida with various popular localities in Delhi such as Jamia Milia Islamia University, Kalkaji, Okhla, Nehru Place, IIT, Hauz Khas, RK Puram, Munirka, Vasant Vihar, Indira Gandhi International Airport-Domestic Terminal, Palam, Janakpuri, etc. As per the Detailed Project Report (DPR), about 48,500 commuters are expected to use this section in 2017.

The Noida section has many interesting features. For instance, the Botanical Garden Metro station in Noida will be the first interchange metro station in the National Capital Region outside the boundaries of Delhi city. This station will provide interchange between the currently operational line 3 (Noida City Centre-Dwarka sector 21) and the upcoming Janakpuri (West)-Botanical Garden corridor. The projected interchange load of the new station as per the DPR will be 97,780 in 2016. Line 8 is a 36.28km long corridor and parallels the Ring Road at several points. It is part of phase III of the Delhi Metro network.

Meanwhile, in an attempt to make Metro service most viable and useful for commuters the Noida-Greater Noida Metro corridor will have train every three minutes, while the Noida to Greater Noida (West) track will run a train every five minutes. This was decided by Noida Metro Rail Company, having carried out a survey to determine frequency for the two sanctioned routes.

According to NMRC officials, while the 29.9km track will have 19 trains, the Noida to Greater Noida (West) track will support 12 trains. “We have based the frequency and number of trains on a survey carried out to determine the likely habitation by December 2017,” said a senior official.

While the Noida-Greater Noida Metro will have 21 stations, the 14.95-km Noida to Greater Noida (West) Metro will have nine. The construction on the Noida-Greater Noida track is already underway. Work on the second track is expected to start by mid-2016.
