Nagpur Metro Rails trial run on September 30

Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Union Minister for Surface Transport and Shipping Nitin Gadlcari will witness a formal trial run of Nagpur Metro  from Chinchbhuvan to New Airport on September 30 at 12 noon on the auspicious occasion of Vijayadashmi.

The team of Nagpur Metro is working hard for the success of the trial run. The formal approval of the Commissioner of Railway Safety is yet to be received. The sanction will be granted only after physical inspection of the Nagpur Metro and only then after formal approval for the commercial operations of the Metro Rail, further steps can be taken.

Fadnavis will also launch a Maha Card for the Metro Services  in Nagpur, in tune with a similar integrated card proposed at Mumbai for seamless travel by any mode of public transport. The commercial operation is likely to start in November end, sources added.

As the first S-kin route of the Metro Rail is ready and internal trial run is quite successful, the Metro Rail authorities have decided to take a formal trial run of in the presence of these two top leaders.

The city has received six coaches and two engines from Hyderabad for trial run of the train. The engines and coaches are to be leased to Nagpur for a period of three years. The trial run in Nagpur will be for a stretch of 5.6 km of the total 39 kms.

The Research Design and Standard Organisation (RDSO) will certify the coaches for running on the track. The work of Nagpur Metro began one and a half years ago under the leadership of Brijesh Dixit and the NMRCL has completed the first phase of this difficult task quite smoothly. The work is Nagpur Metro is going on in full swing and almost 45 per cent work has been completed fill now. The Nagpur Metro is likely to start its full fledged operations from 2019.
