Hey TMRG,

When do you think they will approve chennai airport to kilambakkam extension of metro will it take 2 months minimum? Your thoughts TMRG?
Approvals are mostly politically driven. I can’t predict when the state government’s cabinet will approve. Surely not in 2 months. Maybe 1 year? Let’s see.
