Govt looks beyond DMRC for Jaipur Metro Line 2 DPR

The Jaipur Metro Rail Corporation (JMRC) is set to appoint a new agency, moving away from the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), to prepare the Detailed Project Report (DPR) for Jaipur Metro's Line 2.

A senior JMRC official informed that the tender for DPR preparation has been floated, with the submission phase now closed. Officials are currently evaluating the bids, and a new agency will be appointed soon.

Previously, DMRC prepared the DPR for Line 2 in March 2012, which was revised in 2018 to reduce costs. However, the new DPR will include updates to the alignments between Ambabari and Vidhyadhar Nagar, as well as changes to the Tonk Road stretch mentioned in the earlier DPR. "To ensure transparency, we decided to hire a new agency," the official stated.

Recent infrastructure developments, including traffic projects, have necessitated changes to the proposed alignments along Tonk Road. For instance, the underpass at Laxmi Mandir Tiraha was built exactly where metro pillars were originally planned, requiring the pillars to be shifted and the route realigned.

Additionally, land acquisition in Sitapura for Line 2's JMRC office, loco-shed, and workshop presents another challenge, as the land is privately owned, unlike the government land used for the JMRC headquarters at Mansarovar. The land acquisition matter is currently in court.

Meanwhile, the alignment and proposed stations for the newly announced stretch between Ambabari and Vidhyadhar Nagar have been finalised. (TOI)
