Loading ...Paving way for Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh for going ahead with construction of high-speed metro links to connect respective capitals with airports, Delhi Metro Rail Corp has submitted its detailed project report (DPR) to the state governments.
DMRC, which is acting as a consultant for construction of high-speed metro links to airports in Bangalore and Hyderabad, has submitted its report to the respective states sometime back, sources said.
The DPR would help the state governments decide on procedures to construct the two multi-billion-dollar projects, they added.
While the link in Bangalore is proposed to be on a 33-km stretch, the one in Hyderabad is a 43-km line.
“The ball is in the court of the state governments now as DMRC has submitted the reports,” the sources added.
Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh propose to connect their airports with high-speed metro links on the lines of the one proposed to be set up in Delhi.
DMRC’s other proposals for metro trains for Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh have already been approved by the states and are being implemented by the respective governments.
For the National Capital, DMRC is believed to have shortlisted a consortium led by ADA Group firm Reliance Energy and Spain’s CAF for a Rs 2,500-crore project to construct a high-speed metro link to connect IGI Airport with New Delhi railway station.
