Jaipur metro phase I(B) now in hands of JMRC
Jaipur- After the long delay and several mishaps, the Jaipur Metro Rail Corporation (JMRC) will take charge of construction work for Metro project phase I (B).
Since the provision of financial penalty and punishment through blacklisting have not been included in the contract, the state government cannot penalize Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) for its failure to meet the deadline. The government gave this contract to DMRC just because of its good reputation and records.
DMRC has agreed to associate as project management consultant for assistance and expertise. They will look after operation and maintenance of the Jaipur Metro phase – I after completion of the project for one year.
These decisions were taken on the the 13th meeting of the Board of directors. The meeting also asked DMRC to initiate the survey work to revise plan that links Jaipur Metro (phase II) with Sanganer Airport.
The proposed Jaipur metro comprises of two phase. Phase I starts from Mansarovar and connects to Badi Chaupar through Civil Lines and Chandpole. Phase I(B) starts from Badi Chaupar and ends till Chandpole. Phase II will connect Sitapura Industrial Area in south to Ambabari in North through Ajmeri Gate and MI Road.
The construction work at Phase I(B) will be based on an engineering-procurement-construction (EPC) model. The corporation is very confident and have faith on their resources to take up the construction work of Jaipur metro. Currently DMRC is constructing the corridor and JMRC is the playing role of nodal agency.
