For the recently cleared proposal to
extend the Delhi Metro to Noida and Gurgaon in the Delhi Metro Rail Project
(Phase II), Uttar Pradesh and Haryana will have to contribute 80 per cent of the
cost (for stretches within their jurisdiction).
The states will spend less than Rs.100
crore per km as cost of construction of the line within the state which is lower
than the cost of Rs.160 crore in Phase I of Delhi Metro. The reason being that
the number of stations in these routes (only five stops) will be much lower than
in Delhi (Phase I), which is a key reason for the higher cost of construction in
Phase I.
The cost of the remaining project in
Phase II (20 per cent) will be financed by the Urban Development ministry and
the coaches will be financed by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) .
The stretches from UP border to Noida
Sector 32 and from Haryana border to Sushant Lok (Gurgaon) are each of seven km.
The cost is estimated to be Rs.650 crore and Rs.688 crore respectively. The cost
per km therefore will come to Rs.92.8 crore per km for Noida line, while the per
km cost for Gurgaon line would be Rs.98.2 crore.
Haryana government had set up a
development infrastructure fund two years back for funding all infrastructure
projects of the state and the metro project is being funded through it. This
fund gets annual contribution from various state agencies like Haryana Urban
Development Authority (HUDA) and Haryana State Industrial Developmental
Corporation (HSDIC).
Within Delhi, the extension of the
Metro by another 120 km will require an investment of Rs.18,500 crore. The
project includes extension of the Dwarka-Indraprastha line to the Uttar Pradesh
border and the extension Vishwavidyalaya-Central Secretariat line to the Haryana
border. The projects will be financed by a combination of funds from the Delhi
government, Central government and loans from Japan Bank of International
Cooperation.
However these lines will cost around
Rs.160 crore per km as they will have a station every km. If the Haryana
government's request for extension of the two lines to Faridabad and Bahadurgarh
are also included in Phase II, then the total distance will go up to150 km.
