The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation has prepared the interim executive summary of the detailed project report on the Ahmedabad Metro Rail System which suggests a metro train on elevated tracks for the city. DMRC, which was entrusted with the task of preparing the DPR in 2003 by GIDB, will give the complete report by April 2005. DPR has suggested a three-coach train to start with, which can be extended to six if needed. If everything goes as planned (that is, if both the state and the Centre give necessary approval by the end of 2005), the first phase of the project will be ready by 2010.
In the first phase there will be two corridors, North-South from Vishala to Sabarmati and East-West from Kalupur to Thaltej. The North-South corridor will be 32 km long while the East-West will cover a distance of 10 km and have 42 stations. The total cost of the project is estimated at Rs 3,180 crore, and it can be financed either by the state and the Union governments or the state government could invite a private company to build the metro on Build-Operate-Transfer basis.
