22 Jan 2024 CW Team

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) reportedly presented the modified detailed project report (DPR) to the officials of the Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA), disclosing an increase in the cost by approximately Rs 3.56 billion for the Metro link connecting Noida?s Sector 62 (Electronic City) to Sahibabad in Ghaziabad. The GDA officials mentioned that last month, they had instructed the DMRC to revise the initial DPR due to funding challenges at the state level, as per GDA sources. The initial DPR had initially projected the project cost at Rs 15.17 billion, while the updated estimate in the new DPR stands at Rs 18.73.31 billion.

As per the information, the proposed Metro route aims to establish a connection between Noida and Sahibabad, with plans for a multimodal interchange hub at the Sahibabad station of the Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS).

According to Rajesh Kumar Singh, the secretary of GDA, "The revised DPR has been submitted to GDA. This will now be taken to the board and thereafter to the state government. The revised report has proposed a funding pattern of 20% by the Centre and the remaining 80% by the Uttar Pradesh government. The state government will decide the further funding breakup and the share that different agencies involved will have to bear."

Singh added, "The GDA is currently facing a fund crunch. Hence, we have proposed that 80% of the project cost be borne by GDA and UP Awas Vikas, besides a few other agencies. A final call on this will be taken by the state government."

The revised DPR outlined that the construction of the proposed Metro link will necessitate 7,690.10 square metres of private land and 19,001.2 square metres of government land.
