Govt receives 16 proposals for execution of metro rail projects

On Thursday, the government notified the Parliament that it has obtained as many as 16 proposals from the states and union territories (UTs) for the execution of metro rail projects.

The states and UTs that have sent proposals for metro rail projects are Maharashtra (three projects), Delhi (one project), Uttar Pradesh (two projects), Kerala (two projects), Tamil Nadu (one project), Jammu and Kashmir (two projects), Haryana (one project) and Uttarakhand (one project).

Besides, Delhi, Haryana and Rajasthan have sent joint proposals for the execution of the Delhi-SNB Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) and SNB-Sotanala RRTS.

Delhi and Haryana have additionally sent an offer for Delhi-Panipat Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS).

The data was provided by the Union Minister of Housing and Urban Affairs Hardeep Singh Puri in a written reply in the Lok Sabha.

The minister told the media that Urban transport, which is a crucial part of urban development, is a state subject. Hence, respective state governments are responsible for initiating, developing and funding urban transport infrastructure comprising metro rail projects.

According to the Metro Rail Policy-2017, the Central government considers financial help for such projects in cities or urban agglomerates, based on feasibility of the proposal and availability of resources, as and when posed by the concerned State or Union Territory (UT) government.
