Gujarat Approaches Center for Metro Funding - the Times of India 1/16/14 Gujarat approaches Center for Metro funding - The Times of India Printed from Gujarat approaches Center for Metro funding Paul John,TNN | Ja n 1 6 , 2 01 4 , 03 .1 4 PM IST AHMEDABAD: After almost eight years, the Gujarat government has approached Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) once again for preparing a detailed project report for the Ahmedabad Metro. Last month, the state government had approached the Union urban development department for funding under JNNURM. Apart from Gujarat, the states and Union territories which have approached urban development ministry for metro rail projects are Chandigarh administration for tri-city of Chandigarh, Mohali and Panchkula metro rail project, Maharashtra for Pune metro rail project, Punjab for Ludhiana Metro Rail project and UP for Lucknow Metro Rail project. Among mass transit systems, including the BRTS, the metro rail across cities has managed a high conversion rate—which means private vehicle owners taking to mass transport. The Delhi Metro for instance achieved a major milestone on August 8 last year when it recorded the highest ever ridership figure of 25.04 lakh ridership on that day. This record was also subsequently broken on August 19 when 26.06 lakh commuters traveled by the system. "The Ahmedabad BRTS for instance, despite its 84km network has garnered a maximum of 1.25 lakh commuters. This passenger figure has not changed since the last four years. Back in 2010 when the BRTS network was 45km it had reached a passenger load of 1.15 lakh commuters," says a senior urban development official.

  • J Kumar Infraprojects Ltd
    J Kumar Infraprojects Ltd. J Kumar Infra projects Ltd. (JKIL) is a Mumbai based infrastructure developer with a successful track record of completing marquee projects spread across the transportation, civil infra, irrigation and piling verticals. It has largely operated in the Northern-Western belt viz. Maharashtra, Delhi, Gujarat, Rajasthan and UP. As of June 2016 end, its order book stood at Rs 8,646 crore, 6.1x FY16 revenues. Of the total order book, the company has Rs 5,368 crore worth of Mumbai Metro orders bagged in July, 2016. We met with the management of JKIL, which recently was in news for its JV being barred by the BMC on account of suspected irregularities in the repair work undertaken by the sub- contractor of the JV on a particular stretch of road in the Bandra- Dahisar route. Investors turned jittery on speculation that the MMRDA may also backlist the company leading to withdrawal of the Metro order, which the company had recently won. Consequently, the stock slumped from Rs 222 in July 2016 making a low of Rs 106 in August 2016. However, in September 2016, the MMRDA received a green signal from the Advocate General (AG) to appoint contractors blacklisted by BMC since a single authority alone cannot completely de- bar a contractor from all infrastructure related activities. With the over-hang of the blacklisting out of sight, the stock recovered to Rs. 228 by October, 2016. We believe there is a further upside to the stock given its robust order book, high revenue visibility, consistent EBITDA margins in the range of 15-16% and debt-equity below 1x despite the execution of a lumpy order book.

  • A Metro Station Or Subway Station Is a Railway Station for a Rapid Transit System, Often Known by Names Such As "Metro", "Underground" and "Subway"
    A metro station or subway station is a railway station for a rapid transit system, often known by names such as "metro", "underground" and "subway". Some metro systems, such as those of Montreal, Stockholm, Prague and Moscow, are famous for the beautiful architecture and public art. The Paris Métro is famous for its art nouveau station entrances; while the Athens Metro is known for its display of archeological relics , Sir Norman Foster's new system in Bilbao, Spain uses the same modern architecture at every station to make navigation easier for the passenger, though some may argue that this is at the expense of character. In some stations, especially where trains are fully automated, the entire platform is screened from the track by a wall, typically of glass, with automatic platform-edge doors (PEDs). These open, like elevator doors, only when a train is stopped, and thus eliminate the hazard that a passenger will accidentally fall (or deliberately jump) onto the tracks and be run over or electrocuted. The largest metro station in the world is the Paris Métro-RER station Châtelet-Les Halles in France[1]. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Locale National Capital Region, India Transit type Rapid transit Number of 6 lines [1][2] Number of 132 stations Daily 1.5 million[3][4] ridership Chief E.

  • How Smart Are Our Cities?
    Content list Foreword p3/About the assessment p4/Assessment summary p8/ Detailed city assessments p9/ Conclusion p153/ About The Express Group p156 How smart are our cities? www.pwc.in Foreword The Indian Government has truly stepped on the accelerator with respect to smart cities by announcing an initiative to convert 100 cities to smart cities by 2018. This is imperative because cities are already bursting at the seams, and India’s growth of population has to be accompanied by a commensurate growth in urban infrastructure. While numerous state governments have announced their smart city plans, the approach to become a ‘smart city’ has been different. Some cities have been extremely successful and are rated extremely well in many social, economic and urban components, while some have been found wanting. If India has to truly derive the full potential of the idea of ‘smart cities’, it is crucial to do a comprehensive assessment WRUHYHDODFOHDUVLWXDWLRQRIWKHFXUUHQWVWDWHRIWKHLGHQWLğHGVPDUWFLWLHVZLWKUHVSHFWWRGHğQHGSDUDPHWHUV&LWLHV can look at their current state, and benchmark themselves against the best ranked cities. It is in this context, that Express Computer, one of India’s most respected IT publications with a focus on HJRYHUQDQFHDQGHQWHUSULVHWHFKQRORJ\KDVSDUWQHUHGZLWK3Z&DUHVSHFWHGDQDO\VWğUPZLWKKXJHGRPDLQ expertise in smart cities, to launch the second edition of the report, ‘Assessment of Indian Cities for Smart City Transformation’. In this year’s report, performance based assessment has been conducted for 20 major Indian cities in terms of the operational effectiveness of the urban services being delivered to its citizens. More importantly, the report assesses the effectiveness of the strategies of 10 cities in a period one year, which gives an indication of the approach for other cities to emulate.
