Metro rail project comes calling to Gujarat


The Government of Gujarat has informed the Centre that they have taken an “In Principle” decision to adopt the framework of 50:50 joint ownership Special Purpose Vehicle of Government of Gujarat and Government of India for a metro rail project. 

However, in a written reply to a question in the lower house of Parliament today, Minister of Urban Development Kamal Nath said, “The Ministry of Urban Development is yet to receive a formal proposal along with the Detailed Project Report from the State Government for Metro Rail Project between Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar in Gujarat.”

Presently, the Metro Rail Projects are under execution in Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Gurgaon, Faridabad, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Kolkata, Mumbai and Kochi.

The Ministry of Railway has no direct role in funding and implementation of the project except for the approval of technical aspects like schedule of dimensions, track structure etc., the minister said in a statement.
