Government Initiatives
The previous quarter (April to June) saw a slowdown in project announcements due to the election code of conduct. Now, with the elections concluded, the government has resumed its aggressive push for urban transportation across the country.
- In the Union Budget 2024-25 announced in July, the government allocated 24,931.98 INR-Crore for capital expenditure for metro rail and Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS) projects, which is 7.8% higher than the previous year.
- In August 2024, the Union Cabinet gave its approval to 3 new metro projects. These include the Bengaluru Metro Phase-3, estimated to cost 15,611 INR-Crore, the Thane Integral Ring Metro costing 12,200 INR-Crore and the extension of the Pune Metro costing 2,954 INR-Crore. Additionally, 2 proposals from the Airports Authority of India (AAI) were cleared. These include a new civil enclave at Bagdogra airport, at Siliguri in West Bengal worth 1,549 INR-Crore and a civil enclave at Bihta, Bihar worth an estimated 1,413 INR-Crore.
