    GOVERNMENT OF INDIA MINISTRY OF URBAN DEVELOPMENT REPORT OF THE SUB-COMMITTEE ON OPERATIONS AND MAINTANENCE SYETEMS FOR METRO RAILWAYS NOVEMBER 2013 Sub-Committee on Operation & Maintenance Practices Ministry of Urban Development Final Report PREFACE 1) In view of the rapid urbanization and growing economy, the country has been moving on the path of accelerated development of urban transport solutions in cities. The cities of Kolkata, Delhi and Bangalore have setup Metro Rail System and are operating them successfully. Similarly the cities of Mumbai, Hyderabad and Chennai are constructing Metro Rail system. Smaller cities like Jaipur, Kochi and Gurgaon too are constructing Metro Rail system. With the new policy of Central Government to empower cities and towns with more than two million population With Metro Rail System, more cities and towns are going to plan and construct the same. It is expected that by the end of the Twelfth Five Year Plan, India will have more than 400 Km of operational metro rail network (up from present 223 Km Approximate). The National Manufacturing Competitiveness Council (NMCC) has been set up by the Government of India to provide a continuing forum for policy dialogue to energise and sustain the growth of manufacturing industries in India. A meeting was organized by NMCC on May 03, 2012 and one of the agenda items in that meeting was “Promotion of Manufacturing for Metro Rail System in India as well as formation of Standards for the same”. In view of the NMCC meeting and heavy investments planned in Metro Rail Systems, Ministry of Urban Development (MOUD) has taken the initiative of forming a Committee for “Standardization and Indigenization of Metro Rail Systems” in May 2012.

  • Evaluation of Public Transport System: Case Study of Delhi Metro
    EVALUATION OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEMS: CASE STUDY OF DELHI METRO• Mukti Advani1 and Geetam Tiwari2 1Research Scholar 2Associate Professor Transportation Research & Injury Prevention Programme Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, India ABSTRACT Growing number of vehicular trips by cars and two wheelers which result in traffic congestion, air pollution and traffic accidents has become a major concern in urban areas. Investments in high capacity rail based mass transit systems are being promoted to arrest this trend. In the last two decades Kolkata, Chennai and Delhi have invested in MRTS/LRT systems. This paper analyses the methodology and arguments used to justify these systems. The paper presents evaluation of Delhi metro in terms of capacity, travel time and accessibility to the system and evaluation indices reflecting commuter’s perspective. KEYWORDS Delhi Metro, Public Transport, Buses URBAN TRANSPORT Transport situation in most Indian metropolitan cities is rapidly deteriorating because of the increasing travel demand and inadequate transportation system. Indian cities of all sizes are facing the crisis of urban transport. Despite investments in road infrastructure and plans for landuse and transport development, all face the problem of congestion traffic accidents and air pollution and the problems continue to grow. Large cities are facing an unprecedented growth of personal vehicles (two wheelers and cars) and in medium and small cities different forms of intermediate public transport provided by informal sector are struggling to meet the mobility demands of city resident. In Delhi, number of two wheelers and cars continue to rise. Despite construction of flyovers and roads, the roads continue to face congestion at peak hours.

As it is considered as Economic Capital of country, about 13 million people travel daily using public transport, leading pressure on the transportation system. To improve the transportation system now rail based mass transit system got implemented in city called metro rail, with high capacity and high accessibility levels and technically advanced features. This will bring changes in distribution of people, in activity patterns or in land uses. At the MRTS stations and within influence area, the impact of rapid accessibility can be felt in form of informal sector, congestion, parking problem, increased land value followed by the transformation of land use. It may lead to unplanned development, so to have planned development there should be proper integration of development with MRTS. The present work is an effort to identify impacts of Metro on the surrounding Land use pattern. The area selected for the study is already functioning Mumbai Metro Line 1 (Versova –AndheriGhatkopar).This corridor is connects major stations of suburban railway system Andheri and Ghatkopar.

  • Estimation of CO2 Emission Savings from a Metro Rail System Using Different Methodologies: a Case Study of Mumbai, India Pradeep Chaitanya Jasti 1, Vinayaka Ram
    European Transport \ Trasporti Europei (2021) Issue 81, Paper n° 2, ISSN 1825-3997 https://doi.org/10.48295/ET.2021.81.2 Estimation of CO2 Emission Savings from a Metro Rail System Using Different Methodologies: A Case Study of Mumbai, India Pradeep Chaitanya Jasti 1, Vinayaka Ram. V.2 1 Assistant General Manager (Civil), Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. and Ph.D. graduate from Dept. of Civil Engineering, BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus 2 Associate Professor, Dept of Civil Engineering, BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus Abstract Estimating ‘CO2 emission savings’ of a mass rapid transit system (MRTS) project shall give an opportunity to earn carbon credits under clean development mechanism (CDM) of Kyoto protocol for ‘Non- Annex I’ countries like India. In this study, two methodologies for estimating ‘CO2 emission savings’ were demonstrated with a case study of Mumbai ‘metro line 1’. One considers actual reduction in vehicular traffic and the other considers the commuter shift to metro from other modes estimating the savings as 38.02 t/day and 27.63 t/day, respectively. Subsequently, sensitivity analysis was conducted to identify the optimal scenario for ‘CO2 emission savings’ supported by both the methods. Further, a breakeven scenario for ‘annual net CO2 emission savings’ after considering the indirect emissions due to electricity consumption by the metro system was also analysed as 1,008 t/year by the end 2019. These savings are analysed to further reach 32,537 t/year by 2025. Keywords: CO2 emission savings; Carbon credits; Kyoto protocol; MRTS; Environmental benefits; Metro Rail. 1. Background and Study Objective With rapid urbanization and growth of urban sprawl in India, travel demand has seen unprecedented growth during the last few decades.

  • Maha-Metro CONNECT
    Year 03 | Volume 02 | March 2021 Dear Colleagues, The year 2021 is turning out to be a testament of Maha Metro’s excellence in executing Mass Rapid Transit projects as can be seen from the multiple new projects recently awarded to us. We have been rewarded for our hard work with the sanction of Nagpur Metro Phase–II & Nashik Metro Neo and also with the opportunity to complete balance works of Navi Mumbai Metro Line-1. These are just new beginnings with many more additional responsibilities to come. The sanction of Phase - II of Nagpur Metro Project is an endorsement of the good work done by us over last 6 years & is a matter of great pride for us. It is very rare that Phase-II of a project gets sanctioned even before completion of Phase-I. Nagpur city is attaining new heights and Maha-Metro is happy to be a part of the process. It is also a matter of great pride for us that our concept of Metro Neo has been • MD’s Message given recognition by the Union government as a new MRT system to be • Sanction of Nagpur Metro implemented in cities having a Peak Hour Peak Direction Trac (PHPDT) of less than 10,000. Nashik will be the rst city to have Metro-Neo & this MRTS Phase-II and Nashik Metro Neo system will act as a game changer in propelling city’s growth. • Maha-Metro & CIDCO sign MOU for Navi Mumbai Metro The agreement with CIDCO to complete balance work of Navi Mumbai Metro • Pune Metro signs MOU with Line 1 reects the belief of the other organizations on Maha-Metro’s ability to DRDO for Bio-digester technology eectively execute a project and is a reection of our excellence.
