privately owned and operated Metro
 The Mumbai Monorail, opened on 7 Feb 2014 is first monorail in India

5. History
 A Metro Rail System to facilitate movement between Gandhinagar –
Ahmedabad was initiated by Gujarat Infrastructure Development Board (GIDB)
 The preparation of detailed project report (DPR) for Metro was initiated by
GIDB in 2003 through Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC)
 The DPR is submitted by DMRC in June 2005 and received Central Government
approval the same year
 Conceptualized in 2003, the project was put on fast track by State Government
in 2009
 For execution of project, Gujarat Gov. formed a Special Purpose Vehicle –
Metro Link Express for Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad (MEGA)

6. Constitution
 Metro Project is a proposed mass-transmit rail system for the cities of
Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar, India
 The DMRC (Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Ltd) has already done its techno-
feasibility study and submitted its report.
 Gujarat Government has recently re-approached Delhi Metro Rail
Corporation for a modified detailed project report (DRP) for a Metro Rail
Project in Ahmedabad.
 On 4th Feb 2010, the State Government has set up a ₹ 200 crore Special
Purpose Vehicle (SPV) namely, METRO LINK EXPRESS FOR GANDHINAGAR
AND AHMEDABAD COMPANY Ltd to implement Metro Rail Project under
Company Act, 1956
