Madam, the number of working women in our country is on the increase. They face considerable difficulties in travelling for work. I therefore, announce the introduction of ‘Only Ladies’ EMU train services in Delhi, Chennai and Kolkata suburban on the pattern of Mumbai suburban. These services will run for the convenience of women passengers during office hours.

Mumbai Urban Transport Project (MUTP) Phase-II: MUTP Phase-II sanctioned in the Budget 2008-09 at a cost of Rs.5300 crore is under implementation. Pre-feasibility study for Mumbai Elevated Rail Corridor (Churchgate -Virar) to supplement the densely loaded and intensively utilized existing suburban system for Mumbai, is in progress.

 

The Rail based suburban services i.e. Metro Railway, Circular Railway and EMU services are the life line of the cities of Mumbai, Kolkata, and Chennai. Even after augmenting the capacity of the existing EMU trains by way of additional coaches and introduction of additional services, the rail based suburban system will not be able to meet the demand of the ever increasing population and do not provide rail based transport from origin to destination to the commuters. There is a perceived need to provide an energy efficient rail based system as a feeder route connectivity to the existing Metro/Circular Railway/EMU suburban system in these cities. Therefore, I am happy to announce a feasibility study for introduction of energy efficient rail based system for providing connectivity to existing suburban system in the most efficient economic way in Kolkata, Mumbai and Chennai.
