INTRODUCTION CHENNAI METRO RAIL LIMITED (CMRL): The Government of Tamil Nadu created a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) for implementing the Chennai Metro Rail Project. This SPV named as "Chennai Metro Rail Limited" was incorporated on 03.12.2007 under the Companies Act. It has now been converted into a Joint Venture of Government of India and Government of Tamil Nadu with equal equity holding. The estimated cost of this project is Rs.14600 crores, including escalation, central taxes and interest during the period of construction, but excluding state taxes and value of vacant state government land. Of this, the Central and State Governments together are expected to contribute about 41%. The balance will be met by a loan granted by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).

METRO RAIL PROJECT: NECCESSITY: Chennai Metropolis has been growing rapidly and the traffic volumes on the roads have also been increasing enormously. Hence the need for a new rail based rapid transport system has been felt and towards this objective the Government of Tamil Nadu have decided to implement the Chennai Metro Rail Project. This project aims at providing the people of Chennai with a fast, reliable, convenient, efficient, modern and economical mode of public transport, which is properly integrated with other forms of public and private transport including buses, sub-urban trains and MRTS.

AIM: The aim of Chennai Metro Rail Project is: • To provide fast, convenient, efficient, modern and economical mode of public

transport system. • To properly integrate with other modes of transport. • To de-congest the ever growing road traffic. • To provide reliable transport system with fixed travel time. • To provide a reliable all weather, all season transport system with no need to worry about rain, water clogging, political processions, public meetings and human chains. • To provide an environment friendly means of transport.

ADVANTAGES: Metro Rail System is recognized as a modern, reliable, safe and environment friendly mode of Mass Rapid Transport. The advantages are: • Lowest carbon emission amongst various modes of mass transport. Causes no air pollution in the city. • Provides for very high passenger capacity • Uses clean technology and is energy efficient. Requires 1/5th energy per passenger km compared to the road based system. • Causes lesser noise level. • Ensures enhanced mobility and reduces congestion on roads. • More Reliable, Comfortable and a safe mode of transport • Reduction in road accidents, thus protecting human life and yielding financial savings. • Ensuring a 50% to 75% reduction in journey time depending on road conditions leading to improvement of national productivity. • Has a linkage with other forms of transport. (Links will be provided with Chennai Airport, Central Station, Egmore Station, Mofussil Bus Terminus and MRTS). • Last but not the least, international experience has shown that the value of property abutting Metro alignment often tends to appreciate.

SALIENT FETURES: • Chennai Metro Rail Project integrates all important locations along the three arterial roads of Chennai namely Anna Salai (Mount Road), E.V.R.Periyar Salai (P.H. road) and Jawaharlal Nehru Salai (100 Ft. Road). • The Chennai Metro Rail Project aims at integrating other modes of transport viz. Long distance train services, Sub Urban train services, MRTS, Metropolitan Transport Corporation bus services, Moffussil Bus services and Chennai Airport. • Unlike other metro systems, Chennai Metro Rail system, in its first phase itself, links important passenger hubs and terminals like Chennai Central, Chennai Egmore, Central Moffussil Bus Terminal (CMBT), Chennai Air Port, St. Thomas Mount, Govt. Estate and High Court. • The project will be elderly friendly and physically challenged friendly. All metro stations will have escalators and lifts. • Initially, the frequency of trains will be 5 minutes. This will be further reduced depending on the patronage. • Automatic Fare Collection System will be used in Chennai Metro Rail system. Smart Card system will also be introduced. A woman carrying the smart card in her hand bag can have access to the station by simply showing the bag at the panel. • Feeder bus services and Park and ride facility will be introduced wherever possible. • It is 5 times energy efficient i.e. Energy consumption is only 1/5th when compared to road traffic. • Chennai Metro Rail Project is a Green Project.

PHASE – 1 PROJECT: Two Corridors with a combined length of 45 Kms. will be constructed in the first phase of the Chennai Metro Rail Project. Of this, 24 Kms. will be underground while 21 Kms. will be elevated. Corridor I, with a length of 23.1 kms. (14.3 Kms. underground and 8.8 Kms. elevated), will run from Washermanpet to the Airport via Anna Salai. Corridor II, with length of 22 Kms. (9.7 Kms. underground and 12.3 Kms. elevated), will run from Chennai Central to St. Thomas Mount via Koyambedu. The portions from Washermanpet to Saidapet on Anna Salai in Corridor I and the portions from Chennai central to Thirumangalam in Corridor II will be underground and the remaining portions will be elevated. In corridor – I the portions from Washermanpet to Saidapet (14.3 Kms.) will be underground. The remaining portions will be elevated. In corridor– II the portions from Chennai Central to Thirumangalam (9.7 Kms.) will be underground. The remaining portions will be elevated.

METRO STATIONS: CMRL has proposed to construct 17 metro stations in corridor – I. The proposed stations viz. Washermanpet Metro, Mannadi, High Court, Central Metro, Government Estate, LIC, Thousand Lights, AG-DMS, Teynampet, Nandanam and Saidapet Metro, will be underground (11 stations). The proposed Metro stations at Little Mount, Guindy Metro, Alandur, Nanganallur Road, Meenambakkam Metro and Airport will be elevated (6 stations). In corridor – II it is proposed to construct 17 metro stations. Central Metro and Alandur Metro stations are included in both the corridors. The proposed Metro stations viz. Central Metro, Egmore Metro, Nehru Park, Kilpauk, Pachaiyappa's college, Shenoy Nagar, Anna Nagar East, Anna Nagar Tower, and Thirumangalam will be underground (9 stations). The proposed Metro stations at Koyambedu,

CMBT, Arumbakkam, Vadapalani, Ashok Nagar, Ekkattuthangal, Alandur and St. Thomas Mount will be elevated (8 stations).

CORRIDOR SELECTION CRITERIA: These two corridors have been decided after a detailed study of the traffic density in the roads of Chennai city. After due consideration, these corridors were approved by Government of Tamil Nadu to take care of the ever growing public transportation need. These two corridors which cover the three arterial roads of Chennai city viz. Anna Salai, EVR Periyar Salai and Jawaharlal Nehru Salai, will help to decongest these roads to a great extent. One Metro train is expected to displace 16 buses or 300 four wheelers or 600 two wheelers off the road.

INTERCONNECTIVITY: The basic principle of introducing the integration is that all the transport systems should complement and supplement each other rather than competing among themselves. Unlike other metro projects, Chennai Metro Rail Project, during its first phase, will link important passenger hubs and terminals like Chennai Central, Chennai Egmore, Central Moffussil Bus Terminal (CMBT), Chennai Air Port, St. Thomas Mount, Guindy, Govt. Estate and High Court. It would integrate all important locations along the arterial roads of Chennai namely Anna Salai (Mount Road), E.V.R. Periyar Salai (P.H. Road) and Jawaharlal Nehru Salai (100 Ft. Road). The Chennai Metro Rail Project aims to connect the following modes of transport: A] Long distance train services at Chennai Central, Chennai Egmore, St. Thomas Mount and Guindy. B] Suburban train services at Fort, Chennai Central, Chennai Egmore, St. Thomas Mount and Guindy. C] MRTS at Fort, Central, St. Thomas Mount. D] Long distance Moffussil bus services at CMBT, Ashok Nagar, Alandur. E] MTC bus services at High Court (Parry's corner) and along the three arterial roads of Chennai namely Anna Salai, EVR Periyar Salai and Jawaharlal Nehru Salai. F]

At Air Port Metro Station for Air passengers of Chennai Airport. G] 2-wheelers and 4-wheelers will be integrated by providing parking facilities at Metro Stations wherever possible. Inter connectivity with the other modes of transport is planned as below: 1) By introducing common ticketing system with other modes of transport. 2) Introduction of Park and ride facilities wherever feasible. 3) Introducing multi-level parking facilities near Metro stations. 4) By linking the metro stations with other modes of transport by providing escalator, walkways, etc. wherever possible. 5) By running feeder bus services at terminal and peripheral stations like Washermanpet, Mugappair etc. 6) By providing the entry and exit arrangements of Metro stations very near to Railway stations, bus stops, traffic junctions, etc.
