BEML to roll out Jaipur metro cars in March 2013
Jaipur – The first set of metro cars for Jaipur metro rail project will be rolled out by Bharat Earth Movers Limited (BEML) in March 2013.
BEML is a public sector defence Power Supply Unit (PSU) company of Bangalore. In 2011, an amount of 318 crore was handed over to the company for manufacture, supply, testing and commissioning of 10 train sets of four car each (i.e total 40 cars to Jaipur Metro Rail Project).
It is also supplying metro coaches to Bangalore Metro and Delhi Metro rail projects. It will also supply additional 720 coaches and 36 stainless steel EMUs (electric multiple units) to Indian Railways with existing other orders.
On other hand, the Jaipur metro project is lowering the increasing pollution level in a strange way. It is benefiting in those areas of city where vehicles are prohibited due to construction of metro project.
The air pollution level in Jaipur city generally drops down during the monsoon season. The pollution level is checked by measuring the quantity of respirable suspended particulate matter (RSPM) per square metre. The set standard of pollution is 100 microgram RSPM per square metre. There are total six different centres in the city to measure the level of pollution in various areas.
Chandpol generally records maximum level of RSPM. But in last two months, it dropped to below the set standards. In 2012, the RSPM level recorded in months of April, May and June was 278, 236 and 298 microgram per square meter respectively.
This drop down was due to arrival of monsoon and ongoing construction work of metro project. It lowered the level of RSPM to 147 microgram per square metre in July, 106 in August and 97 in September.
According to the officials of pollution control board, the least polluted area in city is Jhalana with RSPM around 114 microgram per square metre during the last ten months. While Sikar Road area is most polluted with RSPM around 224.8 microgram per square metre.
