Kochi Metro|Work on Kochi Metro Rail project are fast progressing towards completion

Kochi: Despite heavy rains and other obstructions, the works of the Rs 5,537 crore Kochi Metro Rail project are fast progressing and inching towards completion. While it took six years to complete the first 10-km stretch of the recently inaugurated Chennai Metro, the 18-km stretch of the Kochi Metro from Aluva to Maharaja’s will be ready in three years, by June, 2016, which will be a national record.

“More than 70 per cent of civil works along reach one — the Aluva -Maharaja’s corridor — has been completed. Despite the delays in land acquisition, adverse climate and other obstructions, the works are being carried out as per schedule,” said sources at Delhi Metro Rail Corporation.
In Delhi, it took four years and two months to complete the 8.5-km stretch while in Bangalore the six-km stretch from Byapanahalli to MG Road corridor was commissioned in five years. Similar is the case in Mumbai and Jaipur.
A DMRC official hoped that the earlier fixed deadline of June 2016 can be met. Since the contract between DMRC and Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL) to complete the 25-km Aluva-Pettah corridor will end only by June 2017, the agency will get one full year to carry out the works in the remaining stretch. There are 16 stations along the first reach.
“Compared to other Metros, work in Kochi is progressing very fast and can be commissioned in record time. As per the current plans, laying of imported rails over the viaduct will begin by mid-July,” added DMRC sources.
After the civil work, the viaduct structure will be handed over for systems and signalling works by December. A trial run is expected to begin from January-February next year. Construction of coaches at Alstom factory in Sri City is progressing and will be delivered by December and it will take a month to assemble them.

Chandigarh Metro|Ministry of Urban Development sent redrafted MoU

New Delhi: The Centre has once again sent a redrafted memorandum of understanding (MoU) to the UT administration to be signed by the three stakeholders — Chandigarh, Punjab and Haryana — for finalising the metro rail project in the city.

This is the second time the union ministry of urban development has sent a revised MoU for the ambitious project.

To set the project rolling, the ministry has directed the stakeholders to sign the document and send it back at the earliest.

Confirming the development, UT finance secretary Sarvjit Singh said: “We have received the MoU and will be forwarding it to all stakeholders.”

A senior official in the administration said that the UT administrator, Kaptan Singh Solanki, will take the final call on the issue.

The MoU sent to the UT has still kept the option of publicprivate partnership (PPP) open. It mentions that all stakeholders should consider different modes, including PPP.

Former UT Administrator Shivraj Patil was not in the favour of PPP for the project, citing delays in all major projects being carried out in the country under this mode.

The metro rail project is proposed in Chandigarh, Panchkula and SAS Nagar, with the cost to be shared by the Centre, UT administration, Punjab and Haryana equally. Sources in the administration said generally the Centre contributes 50% of the funds in metro rail projects.

The project is running behind schedule by more than two years. The work on the first corridor covering a distance of 12.49 kilometre was expected to begin in April 2013 and get operational by 2018. The corridor-1 stretches from the Capitol Complex, Sector 1, in Chandigarh to Gurdwara Singh Shaheedan in SAS Nagar.

The delay in execution of the project will result in cost escalation.

According to the detailed project report (DPR), total estimated cost of the first corridor, as on January 2012, was worked out to be Rs 3,832 crore. According to sources, the cost of project will escalate manifold as a considerable chunk of the route in Chandigarh will be underground.

The total length of metro project covering Chandigarh, Panchkula and SAS Nagar is 37.57 km with estimated cost of Rs 10,900 crore, to be shared by the Centre, UT, Punjab and Haryana equally. Local MP Kirron Kher has been terming the project “commercially unviable”.

Delhi Metro|Bombardier wins contract to supply 162 MOVIA Vehicles to DMRC

New Delhi: Rail technology leader Bombardier Transportation has won a contract to supply 162 BOMBARDIER MOVIA metro cars to Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (DMRC). The new trains will increase the number of DMRC’s existing fleet of MOVIA metros from 614 to 776 and make it one of the largest metro fleets in the world. The order is valued at approximately 15 billion INR (204 million euro, 228 million US), and delivery will begin in the third quarter of 2016 and is expected to end in early 2018.

Harsh Dhingra, Chief Country Representative, India, Bombardier Transportation said, “We are pleased to have received this new order for another 162 MOVIA vehicles for New Delhi. It is an excellent endorsement of our growing relationship with Delhi Metro who has already awarded us around $1.2 billion USD worth of rolling stock and signalling contracts. These additional trains will be delivered from our state-of-the-art manufacturing sites in Vadodara.”

The modern, high-capacity MOVIA metro vehicles integrate some of the world’s most advanced mobility technologies such as the BOMBARDIER MITRAC propulsion and control system and the BOMBARDIER FLEXX Metro 3000 bogies, an extremely robust and reliable design specifically adapted to suit Delhi’s existing infrastructure. In its six-car configuration, these new vehicles will accommodate 1740 passengers and once configured into eight-car sets, will carry as many as 2,400 passengers providing a much needed capacity increase on two of Delhi’s main metro lines.

The high degree of localisation executed in the project at both Savli and Maneja sites is in line with the Indian government’s ‘Make in India’ campaign that encourages local manufacturing. Bombardier is also Delhi Metro’s largest signalling solutions contractor with over 120 km of line in operation or in progress for Delhi Metro’s Line 5, 6 and 7.

After more than five decades of investing in India, Bombardier Transportation employs around 1,100 people in India. It operates a railway vehicle manufacturing site and bogie assembly hall at Savli near Vadodara, Gujarat. This is in addition to a propulsion systems manufacturing facility at Maneja, a Rail Control Solutions centre near Gurgaon, Delhi NCR and an engineering centre in Hyderabad that serves key projects worldwide.

Delhi Metro|Metro trains will run completely on solar power soon

Narendra Shah

New Delhi: The Delhi metro could soon go fully solar. The Delhi metro rail corporation (DMRC) is looking at the possibility of buying electricity from a 500MW solar facility in Rajasthan, a senior central government official said.

A senior DMRC official confirmed that the proposal might involve the DMRC signing a power purchase agreement with a third-party developer in Rajasthan. “We do not plan to spend any money of our own. We could bid out the contract via an open and transparent process,” the official said, adding that the DMRC is looking at buying solar power at a tariff lower than `6.94 per Kilo Watt per Hour, the rate at which it currently buys thermal power. The official added that an initial proposal is likely to be moved within a week.

“In order to be carbon neutral and insulate itself from electricity price increase which has been about 20% per annum in last five years, DMRC is planning to explore the possibility of purchasing power to meet its entire requirement from a solar developer who will be selected through transparent bidding process,” a DMRC spokesperson said.

At present, the Delhi metro has a peak power requirement of 150MW, which is likely to go up to 250MW by the time the third phase of its construction is completed. “Out of this, 50MW can potentially be met through solar rooftop power,” the official said. Since the average plant load factor for solar power is in the range of 20%, it would require an installed capacity of 500MW, the official said.

The Delhi metro has about 1.2MW of installed solar rooftop capacity. A 500MW solar facility could involve an investment to the tune of Rs.3,000 crore, which a developer would have to take.

A major stumbling block, however, according to the two officials, is that unlike Delhi, Rajasthan does not allow banking of solar power. The centre could take the lead in sorting out this issue between the two governments.

Further, the electricity act, which could be amended in the next session of parliament, may also require some tweaking for such a proposal to become viable.

Chennai: The first phase of the much-awaited Chennai Rail Metro is all set to be launched today. Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa is likely to flag off the project via videoconferencing, sources said.

As part of the first phase, the overhead stretch will connect Alandur in south Chennai to Koyabedu in the north. The 10-km stretch will be covered in 18 minutes. The metro will bear four coaches with a capacity of 1276 passengers and will cover seven stations in the stretch.

The Phase-1 of the Chennai Metro Rail that will cost the state more than Rs. 16,500 crore would cover a 45-km stretch in the city.

Designed as half underground and the rest elevated, one corridor is between Washermanpet and Airport and the other, from Chennai Central to St. Thomas Mount.

The portions from Washermanpet to Saidapet on Anna Salai in corridor I and the portions from Chennai central to Thirumangalam in corridor II will be underground and the remaining portions will be elevated.

Last year, Urban Development Minister Venkaiah Naidu had said the Centre had approved an extension of a nine-km stretch up to Thiruvottiyur from Washermenpet under phase-I of the project in North Chennai. However, it was not included.
