JMRC to prepare two Detailed Project Reports for Line 2

28 Oct 2024 CW Team

Jaipur Metro Railway Corporation Limited (JMRCL) has decided to discard the previously prepared Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) and instead commission two new, separate DPRs for Jaipur Metro Line 2. Officials indicated that the Rail India Technical and Economic Service (RITES) would be responsible for preparing these reports.

According to a senior JMRCL official speaking with TOI, the two tenders are for different segments of Line 2: one DPR will cover the stretch from India Gate in Sanganer to Ambabari, and the other will address the segment from Ambabari to Vidhyadhar Nagar. During the state Budget announcement, Finance Minister Diya Kumari revealed plans for this extension.

The official, who requested anonymity, mentioned that the earlier DPR for Line 2, which had already been revised once, would be abandoned in favour of two distinct DPRs for the two segments of Line 2.

Officials explained that the original DPR, created by Delhi Metro Railway Corporation Limited (DMRCL) in 2012 and later revised in 2020 to reduce the project cost from Rs 95 billion to Rs 45.46 billion, was no longer viable for several reasons. Firstly, due to recent traffic projects on Tonk Road, adjustments to the metro corridor’s alignment and height would be necessary between B2B Crossing and Rambagh Circle. Secondly, to lower the project’s costs in the revised DPR, the scale of stations and certain facilities had been reduced.

An additional JMRCL official noted that the policy for metro systems considers traffic growth projections over the next 120 years, and the scale in the revised DPR may not align with these requirements. Consequently, the DPRs are being prepared afresh to address these concerns.
