First phase of Ahmedabad-Gandhinagar metro to be over by 2017
The first phase of the Rs 19,000 crore metro rail project between Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar, spanning over 83 kms, is scheduled for completion in 2017.
Request for Proposals (RFPs) of all major systems and procurement have already been floated and tenders related to civil construction are under finalisation process.
The first phase of the project will be completed in 2017 and the rest in 2021.
MEGA is a state-formed special purpose vehicle (SPV) for the project execution, with an authorised capital of Rs 200 crore and initial paid-up capital of Rs 10 crore.
The project covers around 83 kilometres connecting important points of Ahmedabad like Kalupur Railway station, Civil hospital, airport and reaching to Gandhinagar for connecting GIFT city, state secretariat and Akshardam.
This project will include around 64 kms of elevated corridor and 19 kms of underground. The elevated corridor construction work will be taken up first on priority.
However, the state proposed 50:50 joint venture project with Centre, currently awaits detailed project report (DPR) approval from the state government.
The project DPRs are under consideration of the state government and a decision is yet to be taken. After approval of state government, the DPRs would be sent to Centre, JV proposal can only then be formalised.
