Guwahati Metro: The largest metropolis of -northeast to wait for Metro transportation

The system plan consists of 4 corridors covering a distance of 61.42 km in phase one of the Guwahati Metro. On 11 January 2013, former Chief Minister of Assam Tarun Gogoi held discussions with officials of Guwahati Development Department and Guwahati Metropolitan Development Authority, in which after detailed deliberations it was agreed that there was a need of urgently taking up the study of introducing a metro rail and bus rapid transit system in the city to arrest the chaotic traffic condition on the streets.

The survey of the proposed project included preliminary exercises such as a study of the number of commuters in different areas of the city at different times of the day and a calculation of the estimated cost of the project. The survey conducted a track type feasibility study at different places. Three types were considered: underground track, overground track, and elevated track. The Khanapara – Jalukbari route was proposed to have overground and elevated tracks because this route is not congested. The other two routes were to have a combination of underground and elevated tracks. The contract to make a feasibility report and to prepare a detailed project report was awarded to M/S Rites in June 2014. However, it was suggested that elevated tracks will be most viable in Guwahati because they are cheaper and can boost tourism potentiality.
