India's Largest Database on New Projects
Work commences on railway projects
25 February 2010: Preliminary work on the ambitious multi-billion dollar metro and ground rail projects has begun in Qatar.
The projects are to be completed in phases between 2010 and 2016 and will take into consideration Qatar's bid to host the football World Cup in 2022. The three mega railway projects (the metro network within Greater Doha, the over-ground railways covering entire Qatar and eventually linking it to the rest of the GCC region and cargo trains) are expected to cost an astronomical QR133.5 billion.
