Prime Minister Narendra Modi will flag off a 13.5 km phase of the Nagpur Metro through video-conferencing on Thursday (7 March) evening, reports Business Standard.
MahaMetro managing director Brijesh Dixit on Tuesday (5 March) informed that the commercial run on the route, comprising five stations from Khapri to Sitabuldi, will start from 8 March.
The work on the Nagpur Metro network started in June 2015. It consists of two corridors with a total length of 38 km. The two corridors will have 38 stations, two depots and a fleet of 69 metro cars, including a “nari-shakti” women’s coach in each train, Dixit said.
The rides on the metro on the first day of its operation on 8 March will be free for the commuters, he said.
He, further, infomed that even before the start of passenger operations, Rs 132.51 crore has been earned by the Nagpur Metro from the stamp duty and other Rs 6.87 crore has come from transfer of developmental rights.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
