It is not a fast track development from Metro as earlier the committed year of completion was 2013-14. Now it is 2016. Let us pray that this is a printing error by the newspaper.

It is NOT a printing error by newspaper. Target for completion of Metro Phase III is 2016. Going by speed of Haryana Govt. in Metro project in Faridabad, even this target looks ambitious

"DMRC takes next step towards phase three; awards two contracts

NEW DELHI: Taking the next step forward, Delhi Metro has awarded two civil contracts for construction of the crucial Faridabad and Mandi House-Jama Masjid corridors to different firms as part of its ambitious Phase-III project that will add another 103 km to its network.

Delhi Metro's new Managing Director Mangu Singh also inspected the Central Secretariat-Mandi House corridor and took stock of the progress of work on the line that would ease pressure on the busy Rajiv Chowk station.

Singh inspected the construction site at the Chelmsford Club where first Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) for Phase-III was earlier lowered on January 31 and went around the under- construction Janpath and Mandi House Metro stations.

This 3-km corridor, which would decongest Rajiv Chowk, would be ready by December, 2014, while the entire Phase-III corridors would be completed by 2016.

The Central Secretariat-Mandi House section is part of the Mandi House-Jama Masjid corridor, whose civil construction has been awarded to Larson & Tubro-SUCG (Shanghai Urban Construction Group) JV for construction of stations and tunnels between Mandi House and Jama Masjid.

This 3.3 km section will be completely underground and will cover three stations, ITO, Delhi Gate and Jama Masjid.

Tunnelling distance in the section is approximately 2.5 kms and will be constructed using Tunnel Boring Machines (TBM) which would be completed in 42 months. This corridor is completely underground and will be further extended up to Kashmere Gate.

L&T has also bagged the construction of entire viaduct for the Faridabad corridor, which is an extension of the Central Secretariat-Badarpur corridor.

The corridor from Badarpur to YMCA chowk in Faridabad would have nine stations and the Detailed Project Report says 1.8 lakh people will be benefitted after the inauguration of this corridor, a DMRC spokesman said, adding that the work would be completed in 20 months.

He said the Delhi Metro has also awarded contract for construction of a bridge across river Yamuna at Kalindi Kunj, construction of viaduct and two elevated stations in Rohini Sec-18 and Badli on Jahangirpuri-Badli corridor.

A total of seven contracts have been awarded since June 2011."

लिंक लाइन ने बढ़ाई मेट्रो की मुश्किल

Story Update : Saturday, February 11, 2012 12:01 AM

फरीदाबाद। दो बड़ी परियोजनाओं की प्लानिंग बनाने में हुई चूक का मामला सामने आया है। प्रस्तावित फ्रेट कॉरीडोर की लिंक लाइन के आड़े बदरपुर-वाईएमसीए मेट्रो कॉरीडोर आ गया है। लिंक लाइन के लिए किए जा रहे सर्वे के बाद इसका खुलासा हुआ है। इसलिए मेट्रो कॉरीडोर का प्रारूप बदलने के लिए डीएफसीसीआई (डेडिकेटेड फे्रट कॉरीडोर कॉरपोरेशन ऑफ इंडिया) ने दिल्ली मेट्रो रेल निगम के साथ पत्राचार शुरू कर दिया है।
फरीदाबाद की सबसे बड़ी परियोजना मेट्रो रेल के लिए निविदा प्रक्रिया पर काम पूरा हो चुका है और इस पर काम शुरू करने की तैयारी की जा रही है। उधर, मुंबई-दादरी फे्रट कॉरीडोर के लिए पृथला टर्मिनल से इकहरी ३२ किलोमीटर लंबी लाइन को नहरपार के भूपानी में बनने वाले कंटेनर यार्ड से दिल्ली-मथुरा लाइन को टच करते हुए तुगलकाबाद तक जोड़ने का सर्वे अंतिम चरणों में चल रहा है। राष्ट्रीय राजमार्ग और मेट्रो कॉरीडोर लिंक लाइन से प्रभावित न हो इसके लिए डीएफसीसीआई ने लिंक लाइन को हाईवे के नीचे से अंडरग्राउंड लाने का विचार किया था। लेकिन सर्वे के बाद अलग ही पहलू सामने आए हैं।
डीएफसीसीआई के मुताबिक लिंक लाइन को अंडग्राउंड इसलिए नहीं लाया जा सकता, क्योंकि इसके कई किलोमीटर पहले से ही सुरंग बनानी पड़ेगी। जबकि इस लाइन के रास्ते में ज्यादा जमीन मिलने की संभावना नहीं है। लिंक लाइन पर दौड़ने वाली मालगाड़ी मेट्रो रेल से तीन गुणा भारी होगी, इसलिए लिंक लाइन को मेट्रो के ऊपर से भी नहीं ले जाया जा सकता। हालांकि डीएफसीसीआई लिंक लाइन के ऊपर से मेट्रो कॉरीडोर को ऊंचा उठाने की दलील दे रहा है। लेकिन मेट्रो रेल निगम डीएफसीसीआई की इस दलील को मानेगा, इसकी संभावनाएं न के बराबर हैं। दोनों ही परियोजनाएं शहर के विकास के लिहाज से महत्वपूर्ण हैं। सवाल ये भी खड़ा हो रहा है कि इतनी बड़ी परियोजनाओं का खाका तैयार करते समय इन तथ्यों पर विचार क्यों नहीं किया गया।

New Faridabad is turning into a preferred destination for industries,IT companies,corporate bodies and government departments,says PUNITA
Only 25km from Delhi,the newly developed Faridabad,or New Faridabad,is turning into a preferred destination for industries,IT companies,corporate bodies and government departments.
Matching steps with Gurgaon and Greater Noida,Faridabad is adding to its value by developing fast.With Badarpur flyover being operational,the major irritant of huge traffic jams here is over.Easy connectivity attracts buyers,investors and,of course,developers.
Sectors 75 onwards,or the area opposite the Agra Canal in New Faridabad,will be valuable for real estate development.Though infrastructure in this area is not in place right now,the place holds a lot of promise because of the presence of good developers.Among the sectors that have great potential are Sectors 88 and 89;these are in demand as they will be close to two forthcoming highways.
Property rates in New Faridabad have jumped up by 20-25 % during the last few months.This,coupled with its proximity to Delhi,good connectivity by rail,road and a planned Metro line,are making this place an ideal locality for long-term investors.Major players like Omaxe,BPTP,Ansals,Uppal,DLF and Realtech Group are coming up with residential and commercial projects,buoyed by the rapid development of infrastructure here and the proximity of the place to Delhi,Gurgaon and Noida.
"The new infrastructure projects that will help in development of Faridabad include the 165km-long Yamuna Expressway (near Sector 80) and a highway starting from Kalindi Kunj and running parallel to Mathura Road that will bypass the city.Sector 75 near Agra canal is going to be the next commercial hub for Faridabad.The authorities are paying due regard to the greening of the place as well,"Prashant Solomon,the joint managing director of Chintels Group,says.
Other infrastructure projects like the dedicated freight corridor in the vicinity with the catchments area being Faridabad,and a planned HSIIDC's (Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation) commercial hub near Faridabad,are further going to add to the importance of the place in realty terms.While several shopping malls are under construction,Faridabad is likely to have more than 40 such commercial spots over the next few years.
These projects have spawned new sectors with public and private sector partnerships;new institutional sectors are mushrooming;the skyline is transforming through a new urban development policy,even as new high-tech electronics and communications units and IT parks jostle for space in these new sectors,and road and transport facilities and getting better by the day.
Navin M Raheja,the chairman and managing director of Raheja Group,says: "Property and real estate prices in New Faridabad are already shooting up.In the near future,the property at Greater Faridabad will be a priced possession."
The industrial city with nearly 300 large and 10,000 small-scale industries under its belt has always been under-priced.But,now,the situation is changing.Not only does it have swanky residential projects,a lot of commercial projects have developed or are in various stages of completion here.The initiatives of the Haryana government are also among the prime factors behind spatial economic developmental here.

Connectivity plan for area development


Proposal to develop NH-2 from Delhi to Ballabgarh to expressway standards
Proposal to connect peripheral expressways : Kundli-Manesar-Palwal (KMP) or the western peripheral expressway and the Kundli-Ghaziabad-Palwal (KGP) or the eastern expressway,are located closest to Faridabad-Ballabgarh
Metro rail to be extended and further have feeder and connecting services with the Regional Rail Transit System,to cater to the increasing intracity urban transport needs
The Yamuna Expressway will touch the area at Lalpur and go on to meet NH-2 at Shahpur.The completion of this stretch will improve Faridabad's connectivity with Noida and Greater Noida
Another highway is planned,which will begin from Kalindi Kunj,run parallel to Mathura Road,and bypass New Faridabad.This highway will touch all the new sectors,and will merge with the Mathura Road on the other side of Faridabad,again acting as a catalyst to property development
Three-laning of Faridabad -Gurgaon Road,widening of the Surajkund Road and repairs of all main and internal roads in the sectors will provide new impetus to the realty growth

Neharpar is in early stages of infrastructure development and connectivity is improving.Once these facilities are in place,it will be on a par with other major realty hotspots in the NCR.A K TIWARY writes


The Neharpar region in Faridabad was incorporated into the master plan of Faridabad in 2004-05,under the city's new Master Plan.With an area of nearly 3,000 acres,it covers Sectors 70 to 91.Still in its early stages of development,the area has a mix of residential and commercial property.With multistorey apartments,plots,villas and townships,a large number of options are available in the residential category in Neharpar.
The Municipal Corporation Faridabad has notified Sector 79 as the commercial district in the area with individual shops and SCFs (shop-cum-flats ) developed in the commercial category.Major realty players like BPTP,SRS,Omaxe Ltd,Vipul Group,Piyush Group,Puri Constructions,RPS,etc,have projects in the area.Here,BPTP has the largest land bank.TDI also has plans for residential and commercial projects in the area.
Enhanced connectivity to the NCR cities,luxury and affordable residential projects,a slew of retail and office projects,fast-paced infrastructure development combined with affordable rates are pushing Faridabad's real estate profile.
Bound by Delhi to its north,Faridabad has been a major industrial township of the NCR.Today,Faridabad has opened up new areas like Neharpar,also known as Greater Faridabad,for development.This has led to an enhanced interest in the real estate of the city.
Praveen Kumar,the administrator of HUDA,says: "Nearly 90% of the investors are looking for long-term gains in Neharpar.The area will be able to fully realize its potential only after the next two-three years and,then,its position in the realty market will become unassailable."
Ravinder Taneja,the vicechairman of TDI Group,says: "Undoubtedly,Neharpar's real estate has seen a steep escalation in property values,enhancing its appeal as a serious real estate market.The major reasons for this surge in real estate activity can be attributed to the city's proposed connectivity and its reasonable price range,compared to other NCR cities.The forthcoming Metro link,the operational Badarpur flyover and the proposed FNG Expressway will not just solve commuting problems but will also attract developers,buyers,corporates and investors,equally."
"The place is developing into a megahub for residential and commercial projects.The biggest draw is that property is still available at affordable rates,"Rohitas Goyal,the chairman and managing director of Omaxe Group,said.
Rahul Gaur,the managing director of BRYS Group,says: "Once the facilities are in place,the area will be realty hotspot,on a par with the surrounding areas.Neharpar is still in a teething period of sorts;there is a lot of scope for development which will boost the property rates here.The proposed Badarpur flyover and the Metro will play a key role in the development of the area."
Neharpar is still awaiting some basic infrastructure facilities like connectivity and,an end to long power cuts.On the positives,locals don't need to worry about their shopping,as there are a number of malls here.Crown Plaza Mall,Good Store and Lifestyle are the favorites among locals here.Also,there are small local markets to cater to the daily needs.
A number of schools are located here like Echelon Institute of Technology,Apeejay School Faridabad and Palm Beach School for Autism.Modern Delhi Public School and the Institute of Aviation Management are also located here.The hospitals here include Palm Beach School for Autism,Apex Diagnostics and Polyclinic,Kilkari Paediatrics Clinic and Diagno Aide Pathology Lab and Kalra Child Care Centre.The parks include Ecological Park,Swarna Jayanti Park and Destination Point.
Developers like Omaxe,BPTP,SRS,Vipul,Piyush and Puri Constructions are investing in commercial property in Neharpar.These commercial projects are as huge and as elegant as the residential projects that are coming in the location.All this will make Greater Faridabad a favorable destination for buying a property.Currently,Neharpar is in early stages of infrastructure development,and connectivity is improving.Once these facilities are in place,Neharpar will be on a par with other major realty hotspots.

The Haryana state industrial corporation is developing a third industrial model township in Faridabad.A K TIWARY reports


Encouraged by the spurt in new worldclass projects,the Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC) is developing a third industrial model township (IMT) in Faridabad.
It will be over 1,750 acres.The project is expected to capitalize on the opportunities to be thrown up by the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor being developed along the dedicated freight corridor alignment.The Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) is being established by the central government in collaboration with Japan.
On the connectivity front,Reliance Infrastructure bagged a road project of over 66km on a high density traffic zone.It involves four-laning of Gurgaon-Faridabad Road and improvement of Ballabgarh-Sohna Road on build-operate-transfer (BOT) basis.
The Metro rail is to be extended and have feeder and connecting services with the Regional Rail Transit System to cater to the increasing intra-city urban transport needs.The Badarpur flyover has eased the congestion at the Badarpur border and is offering a hassle-free journey to Faridabad,as many corporates are heading to Faridabad,given the high rates in Delhi.
The Yamuna Expressway will touch the city at Lalpur and go on to meet NH-2 at Shahpur.The completion of this stretch will improve Faridabad's connectivity with Noida.Another highway is planned,which will start from Kalindi Kunj,run parallel to Mathura Road,and bypass the city.This highway will touch all the new sectors,and will merge with the Mathura Road on the far side of Faridabad.The three-laning of the Faridabad-Gurgaon Road,the widening of the Surajkund Road and repairs of all the main and internal roads in the sectors will provide an impetus to realty growth.Amneet P Kumar,administrator of HUDA,Faridabad,says: "Faridabad,which is strategically located being only 25km south of Delhi,has thrived in recent years due to its connectivity to Delhi,Gurgaon and Noida.Faridabad has traversed a long way from an industrial township into a modern-day city,complete with elegant office complexes,sprawling shopping malls and classy retail markets that host major retail brands.That apart,it has emerged as a playground for some of the most distinguished and prominent real estate developers in the country.The city is poised for major developments,as it holds a significant potential for residential as well as retail projects."
Known as the industrial capital of Haryana,Faridabad has always been a prominent real estate investment destination and is now fast catching up with a slew of infrastructure projects in the pipeline.The Transport Plan 2021 for NCR has a number of proposals to attract investors and developers to this city.

Metro in Faridabad


According to a DPR (detailed project report ) submitted by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) to the Haryana government,the 13.8km Metro line from Badarpur to Faridabad's YMCA Chowk will be elevated with nine stations.The Metro is slated to stop at NHPC,Maharajganj,Sector 27A,Badkal Chowk,Old Faridabad,Ajroanda,Sector 12 and YMCA.
The NHAI (National Highway Authority of India) has cleared the DMRC proposal for change of alignment from the middle of NH-2 to the left of the national highway from the Badarpur side.In view of NHAI plans to widen the national highway,this change is imperative.
For the Metro's expansion into Faridabad,the Haryana government has already approved a budgetary allocation of Rs 1,588.6 crore for the extension of Delhi Metro to Faridabad.The new Metro link from Badarpur to YMCA Chowk will hugely benefit residents of the NCR city.HUDA has estimated the total cost of the 13.8km Metro project at Rs 2,533 crore,of which the Centre will bear Rs 544.4 crore.The state government had says the project will be completed by March 31,2013.
Apart from the Metro,the soil testing is being done for widening of NH-2 to six lanes.The widening work on NH-2 has been awarded to Reliance industries.

Except the last one, the first two reports/news items have already been published in Times of India's Staturday Edition at least for 10 times during the last one year. Absolutely a stale news.

Dear Mr. Yogesh,

Your mail contains a news article of Mr. A K Tiwary. I have taken the below paragraph from that article. Clearly stating that the Faridabad Metro Project shall be completed by March 31, 2013. This has been the date mentioned by the state government in all the previous communications. But of late confusions is being created in some of the newspapers that the Metro completion date shall be year 2016. This is creating negativity and we must get the clear picture from the higher authorities. In no case we must allow the drifting of this date of March 31,2013. We all know that this is very much possible with the pace at which DMRC performs.
