TMRG, I’ve heard that Central Govt. Have alloted Rs14,000 crores for Namma metro Phase 2A and 2B. Is that mean that Central Govt. Have finally approve the ORR-Airport line?
Neither that allocation figure is true nor the approval. Media and govt handles jumped the gun. My take: https://themetrorailguy.com/2021/02/01/budget-2021-metro-high-speed-rail-in-india/
Also government allote budget for kochi phase 2
TMRG,
CMHSR preliminary alignment almost coincides with Chennai -Bengaluru expressway, for which land acquisition for a 8 lane ROW of 90 metres is done.
But tenders are called only for 4 lane CB Ex.
Why can’t the remaining land be utilised for CMHSR with an MOU with NHAI. It will hasten up the entire process and the project can be realised much sooner.
