1. The document discusses the development of metro rail and monorail infrastructure in India. It provides an overview of the existing metro rail systems in major cities like Delhi and Kolkata, as well as future planned systems. Metro rail provides benefits like reduced traffic, pollution, and fuel consumption but also has high costs. 2. Mumbai will be the first city in India to implement a monorail system, with additional cities planning monorail projects. Monorail systems have advantages of using less space and having lower construction costs than metro rail. However, monorails also have limitations like lower passenger capacity. 3. As populations grow, transportation infrastructure needs to advance to provide efficient transit options. Both metro

2. 1. Metro rail in
India
How it began?
• India's first and Asia's fifth metro rail was developed and introduced in Kolkata.
• Over a length of 16.45km and the work on this venture was endorsed on 01/06/1972 The
development work began in 1973-74. After intersection such countless obstacles Calcutta
Metro began its excursion on October 24, 1984.

3. Importance of
Railways
The railway plays a very important role in the daily human life and goods exchange, also it is
very important in political and enforcement context…
 Air pollution and traffic accidents has become a major concern.
 Time saving.
 Reduced fuel consumption.
 Unprecedented growth of personal vehicles.
 Growing traffic congestion.
 To avoid congestion at peak hours.

4. Indian Metro Railway
 Existing metro railway
• Delhi metro rail
• Kolkata metro rail
 Future & proposed metro railway
• Mumbai metro rail
• Bangalore metro rail
• Hyderabad metro rail
• Chennai metro rail
• Kochi metro rail
• Ahmedabad metro rail

5. Benefits of Metro
Rail
• Requires 1/fifth energy per traveler km contrasted with street-based transport system.
Causes less commotion, no air contamination and eco agreeable vehicle framework.
• Consumes no street space assuming underground and just about 2.60 meters width of
the street whenever raised. Diminishes venture time. Financially smart mass vehicle
framework. Diminishing traffic transport issues.

6. Advantages
• In productive as far as space inhabitants and gives solace super present-day mentors and current
frameworks like programmed tagging, progressed flagging frameworks, programmed train insurance
framework and incorporated security frameworks.
• Administrations like ATMS, food outlets, bistros, and corner shops at these excursions more
productive.
• Additionally, such stations lead to close monetary turn of events.
• The worldwide norm for MRTS with a most extreme speed of 80kmph and normal speed of around
34kmph aides in saving of time.
• With appropriate planning, the pinnacle hour limit could be appraised at 3-4 lakhs travelers each hour.
• A modest method of transport, the MRTS helps in low energy utilization.
• It is eco-accommodating (runs on power, in this manner limiting air and sound contamination)
• Turns away the quantity of mishaps.

7. Disadvantages
• The solitary disservice of metros is the slight blockage on streets at the hour of
development which must be dealt with.
• The expense factor is another inconvenience, the answer for which is to incorporate
metros with other frameworks thinking about the volume, structure, accessibility of
room and assets for traffic and transportation

8. 1.1 Kolkata Metro
• The lone metro administration in the nation working straightforwardly under the Indian
Railways, the establishment for this was laid as right on time as 1972
• Kolkata confronted a vehicle issue with just 8% of the land being accessible for street
transport (25-35% accessible in different urban communities).
• The metro has been a serious hit with the inhabitants in Kolkata considering the quantity of
travelers which has expansively expanded in the previous years. Huge scope extension
projects (covering 87 kms) have now been arranged and in its modernization program.

9. Modernization of the
Kolkata metro includes:
Following are the major modernization which are applied to the Kolkata metro to make it
suitable and likely to be used with current environment…
 State-of-the-Art Automatic Fare Collection
 Passenger Control system with Radio Frequency Identification based Flap Gates
 Integrated Security System
 New air-conditioned rakes
 Automatic Signaling system

10. 1.2 Delhi Metro
• The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) was set up to assemble a metro in two
stages serving Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida and Ghaziabad.
• While the main stage covering 65.11km was opened in 2002 the second period of 125km
was as of late finished.
• The principal rail line project on the planet to be enlisted for carbon credits by the United
Nations, the Delhi Metro accomplished this by saving force by utilizing regenerative
brakes in the trains, and decreased fossil fuel by-products.

11. Conclusion
• Even though the Metro frameworks are more solid, agreeable, and more secure than
street-based frameworks and it decreases blockage on the streets, the frameworks
arranged in India show cost invading and under use of limit.
• High limit framework does not really create appeal.
• Enormous idea and arranging are required for such costly and broad tasks.

12. 2. Monorail in India
• MONORAILS in India are by and large considered as feeder framework for the metro.
THE MUMBAI MONORAIL will be the first monorail in Quite a while.
• Plus, there are going on development for Odissa, Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Pune and
other large urban communities.
1. Mumbai monorail
2. Delhi monorail
3. Chennai monorail
4. Kerala monorail

13. Advantages
• No risk of vehicles getting struck in crossings
• Practically silent while travelling
• Contributes Greener Environment
• Regularly operates at 99.995% reliability.
• Monorail can be built faster with less cost.
• Consumes minimal space.
• Ideal mode of transportation for population less than 3 lakh
• Serves as Feeder lines for denser cities
• Environmentally friendly uses no carbon derived fuels

14. Disadvantages
• To supplant a part of track, the whole framework should be closed. The ability to-cost
proportion is less, even though the per kilometer development cost is less.
• Cannot run without power.
• Monorail tracks don't effectively oblige at-grade convergences.
• In a crisis, quick exit is preposterous
• The greatest weakness referred to on account of monorail is its restricted traveller limit

15. Future Scope
• With the advancement of monorail and its benefits over ordinary rail framework, monorail
is the innovation for what is to come.
• Monorail will hit the quick development and activity supplanting the customary framework.
• Activity of monorail will be saving the valuable fuel. With more examination works going
on about the monorail it tends to be made further developed and more natural amicable.

16. Conclusion
• With the expansion in the development innovation of Monorail, it can lessen the utilization of
city transports in thin and occupied street and will give solace to the travelers on account of
its appropriateness in the blocked zones.
• As it associates the courses and veins of the city and ends up being natural agreeable it will
supplant different methods of transportation which influence climate.
• With the increment in the populace, it is vital for the progression of transport innovation to
give precise method of transportation soon; for which monorail can be the best other option.
