100 cities to have their own Metro networks by 2047: MoHUA Secretary

India has set a goal of constructing 5,000 kilometers of operating subway lines in 100 cities during 100 years of independence. In the three-day “New City India Conference 2021” hosted by Indira Gandhi Pratishthan, Lucknow, Durga Shankar Mishra, Secretary of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA), said while presenting the future vision for the expansion of the subway network in 25 years and beyond .

When talking about the status of the subway in India’s 100 years of independence, Minister Mohua said: “Since the country became independent, revolutionary changes have taken place in the field of public transportation. The subway has played an important role in making urban traffic safe, convenient, fast, and unobstructed. The subway has played an important role.

It is the need of urban transportation. 25 years after the completion of 100 years of independence today, the subway will expand in at least 100 cities across the country, extending the network to 5,000 kilometers.” Mishra further stated that the history of the country’s subway is only 25 years old. Today the subway network is more than 750 kilometers wide. By 2022, an additional 150 kilometers of subway network will be added to the existing subway corridor.

A total of 900 kilometers of operating subway lines will be put into use next year. “Because of the great emphasis on the Indian manufacturing policy, the locally-made subways are now being exported to Canada and Australia. Our goal is that when celebrating the 100th anniversary of independence, we should not only be self-reliant in all aspects related to subway construction, but also should be able to satisfy Demand from other countries,” he added.

He said that after the expansion of the Lucknow Metro by 23 kilometers, the Kanpur Metro is scheduled to be commissioned in November, and Agra is under rapid construction. The Metrolite project in Gorakhpur has been approved by the state government and has been sent to the central government for approval. It is planned to build a 28-kilometer operating subway route.
