^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I wish they had put Made-In-India metro's in, like the new Indian made, robust and contemporary Bombay/Hydb/Madras locals.

There sure is a case for total 360% indigenous production in metro rails given India's massive capacity in Railway Engg. R & D (ok at best compared to China, France, Japan, Canada, Germany, US etc.) but specially rail manufacturing :.

All corrupt like to import rather than develop indigineously, better commissions in terms of cash, contracts, contacts, patronage, foreign travel and lot's of dining, wining and tourism thrown in.
Another hell of an opportunity lost to mc-bc corrupt politicos .

Metro Rails are "Made in India". Bombardier has manufacturing unit in India and another government owned company BEML is also manufacturing Metro trains.

Really? I thought Bombardier only has a software unit. Didn't know about BEML either - will look it up.

yes Pal! Bombardier has manufacturing unit in Savli, Gujarat and recent Bombardier coaches of Delhi Metro are made in India.
BEML also purchased the technology and manufacturing Metro trains and supplied trains to Bangalore Metro and recently they won contract for supplying coaches for Jaipur metro.

You are right, but this is just one of the 3 terminals that Chennai Airport now has. I think the plan is renovate the other two terminals for now in addition to this new one, and later on, demolish the old ones in phases and construct new terminals.

Isn't this a Domestic Terminal

The five-level domestic terminal spans 72,614 sq m. It has seven gates, 52 check-in counters and eight e-ticketing counters. Terminal-2 is equipped to handle 3,300 passengers an hour. The existing terminal handles 2,200 passengers.

Scomi Engineering Berhad, Malaysia carrying out a survey for Guwahati Monorail

GMDA working on monorail blueprint

By our Staff Reporter

GUWAHATI, April 16: The Guwahati Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) seems rather upbeat about the proposed introduction of the monorail system in Guwahati.

Talking to mediapersons in Guwahati today, GMDA chairman Robin Bordoloi said, “Scomi Engineering Berhad, Malaysia, is carrying out a survey in Guwahati to examine the feasibility of the monorail system. So far the company has said that such a system is feasible in the city. Of course, we are waiting for the company to submit the concept paper and the detailed project report. The GMDA will then submit the same to the State Government.”

Bordoloi further said, “The narrow roads in the city cannot accommodate the increasing number of vehicles. Due to traffic snarls, commuting from one end of the city to the other end has become an ordeal. In such a situation, introduction of the monorail system will do the city a lot of good. Metro rail system is expensive and moreover, you need a lot of space for putting into place such a system. At comparatively lesser cost and in limited space we can set up the monorail system.”

He said that the Scomi Engineering Berhad, Malaysia, had set up a 18-km monorail system in Mumbai. It may be mentioned that some days ago, the Engineering Projects India Limited had made a presentation before Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi on the feasibility of the monorail system in Guwahati. In his recent budget speech, Gogoi had promised to address the issue of providing an efficient public transport system in Guwahati and said that a feasibility study of the same would be taken up in next financial year.

“This high-tech public transport system will ease the traffic woes of the people of Guwahati to a large extent. Many cities of the world have monorail and this system had enhanced the public transport system in those cities,” said the GMDA chairman who added, “The proposed 35-km monorail system will run from Borjhar to Khanapara. Each monorail will have the capacity to carry 1,000 passengers. We are also mulling state-of-the-art infrastructure at the train stations, like constructing shopping malls.”

The proposed project will cost about Rs 245 lakh per km. A private-public partnership (PPP) mode has been proposed for this project.
