After two successful trials of the Gatiman Express, set to reduce travel time between Agra and Delhi to 105 minutes, railway authorities are bracing for a mono-rail project between Noida and Agra.
During the foundation stone laying ceremony of the Agra-Lucknow Expressway, chief minister Akhilesh Yadav spoke of the mono-rail project between Agra and Noida. Chief secretary Alok Ranjan said planning for the 200-km mono-rail link between Agra and Noida had been initiated. A railway department official said a meeting had been held in Lucknow on November 19 to discuss the project, to be executed by the Noida Metro Rail Corporation. The proposal is for the mono-rail line to connect Mahamaya Flyover in Noida, the Buddh International Circuit and Mathura with Agra. The initial plan is for the system to run along the Yamuna.
On November 19, the project was given a green signal in Lucknow. Government officials said the project will be built on the lines of the Sydney Monorail project. Ranjan said the UP government has directed the Noida Metro Rail Corporation to execute the project.
A detailed project report on how the project will be funded, however, is yet to be prepared. Sources in the government said a timeline for the execution of the project will also be there in the DPR.
