What's new

Cost of construction of Metro Rail in Dhaka is much higher than India.

NEW DELHI: This October, when Delhi Metro throws open to the public its Magenta Line spanning Janakpuri West and Botanical Garden, expect to get a train — and a driverless one at that — every 100 seconds.
The 36.98km stretch, the first phase of which will be commissioned after three months, will run on Communication Based Train Control (CBCT), a state-of-the-art signaling technology, which will help the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) slash its existing peak-hour frequency of 135 seconds.

Delhi metro runs 8 coach trains(capacity-3000)/6 coach rakes on it's older network and exclusively 6 coach rakes (capacity : 2280) on the new, CBTC enabled networks.
Comparing 200 km Delhi metro with Dhaka is not fare.Compare with similar length like Chennai or Hyderabad metro. I am sure the Red line(25km) the first phase of Delhi metro had much less capacity than the Dhaka metro.

1696 passengers in a single train and a train will come at every 4 minutes. So 30,000 from each direction per hour or 60,000 from both direction in a single hour. All these means, train will have to contain more coaches, station have to be much bigger.There will be more station, 16 for 20km journey. Are any Indian metro in such a scale? Also the stations will contain more modern facilities as per other reports. @gslv mk3 you have done a lot of monkey dance shouting extra cost of Dhaka metro and how cost effective are the great are Indian rust bucket metros. Now consider these facts and don't forget it is being done by the Japanese. So, no Indian style cheap, low class construction devoid of any aesthetics.

Haha.. You know you need have a working metro to make assessment of traffic. So shut up and build one before you mock us. But you should know that Dhaka and aesthetics shouldn't be used in the same sentence.

So your most dense metro come head in head with Dhaka. Per km cost of Hyderabad is $38.1 million and Dhaka is $135 million. But it can be explained by the first world(Japan) construction compared to Indian quality(non aesthetic, rust bucket as I have said earlier). Also all things required to import from Japan.But in a long run, Dhaka metro will give more bang for it's buck. You can consider the Lifespan issue.Do not expect, run down Hyderabad metro which is built by using cheap, shoddy, low quality Indian materials will last same years like Dhaka metro without renovation and added cost.
 
I have come up with a new tagline for Bangladesh- 'bringing first world construction costs to third world countries'... @Nilgiri

30,000 p/h/d is same as 60,000 p/h/d Hyderabad metro. Again, logic fail..

Hyderabad system has potential for even more with six coach rakes & 90 sec frequency (CBTC technology).

What about Dhaka ?

Sure, your metro is more than three times as costly as 'it is built by the Japanese'... :lol:

L&T, the PPP partner for Hyderabad Metro is one of the first companies to work for Delhi metro & and is presently building Doha/Riyadh metros.

Enjoy being fleeced by literally everyone. Meanwhile enjoy this nice pic of Delhi metro phase III

Also all things required to import from Japan.

Because you have literally ZERO industry other than mass sticking centers. Enjoy your 'incompetence'.

Our first modern metro is now 16 years old and we have experience in building 16 such systems in India alone.

Should we listen to noobs who have zero capability in any sort of engineering ? I think not. :lol:

You can keep crying about Indian metros being 'shoddy' & 'run-down' while Delhi metro crosses 400 km mark.

This article was from 2012. Talking about future plan to increase the capacity. Now a train come at 15 minutes interval ! yes 15 not 2 minutes as suggested. What are you saying was a future plan which was not materialized. This metro failed to get adequate response from the riders. Now only 45k passengers use it daily and run almost empty at early morning, afternoon and night. It is bizzare for a city of 10 million. What was the purpose to build this white elephant project when it can not fulfill it's objective? I guess, intercity and inter state rivalry to build metro is behind this mess.Most probably this metro run through the areas where ridership is very low, but hastily constructed over those areas to save the money but show the other states that 'we are not behind'. Isn't it?

Bullshit of the highest order.

Present frequency is 8 minutes on the busiest stretch during peak hours which would be increased to five.

Ridership & frequency will go up as the entire length of phase 1 (67 km) is completed this year. Locales like Secunderabad railway station & Hitec city (IT hub) are yet to be connected.

There is something called 'rush hour', I hope you have heard the term.

Hyderabad metro is a PPP project & concessionaire (L&T) isn't foolish to bid for an unviable project

Anyway what are we comparing with here ? Has Dhaka metro realized 30,000 p/h/d ? Have you even started piling yet ?

Hay Bidi! Comparing commuting capacity of Metro of City having 18.237 million (Dhaka) with 6.00 Million (Hyderabad).

And quoting from the same article selectively. Read it again you thick skull.

It States:

HYDERABAD: Though the Hyderabad Metro rail is expected to chug off with a frequency of one train every 15 minutes once the Miyapur-Nagole stretch is inaugurated at the end of this month, it may gradually be stepped up to one train every two minutes.

Though the system allows for operating a train after a gap of two minutes right from word go, the Hyderabad Metro Rail Ltd (HMRL) authorities have decided to initially operate a train once every 15 minutes to begin with.

It has DOUBLE THE CAPACITY OF DHAKA WHICH WILL HAVE OPERATING CAPACITY OF A TRAIN IN EVERY 4 MINUTES.

As works is being done in piecemal basis and capacity will increase gradually in Hyderabad metro, so it's cost will continue to add up with initial cost. This is one factor why Indian metro cost looks so cheap. At first, with just 4-5 train and limited capacity and service providing station were build to handle low number of passenger. But cost will continue to add with each passing year, which is not shown in the initial cost estimation. On the other hands, Dhaka metro cost is a total package cost where all the component to run it in it's full capacity is considered.

Exactly.
Indians like to compare their low capacity initial cost with high capacity from start BD projects.
They were trying to compare high capacity Padma Bridge railway with low capacity lines in a minor Indian state.:lol:

Full capacity, you mean all of 20 km.?

Hey Thick Skull!! Bidi!!

30Kms already commenced, with 24 Stations.

Read your own stated figures for COST PER KILOMETER:
So your most dense metro come head in head with Dhaka. Per km cost of Hyderabad is $38.1 million and Dhaka is $135 million.

How much you expect the escalation in Cost Per Kilometer till completion of project????

Take chill pill and stop comparing yourself with India.

Now bugger off.

:lol: piecemeal basis ? Hyderabad metro is building 67 km in one go (phase I). Much unlike Dhaka (20 km phase I)

Even the whole phase I of Hyderabad metro costs just 31 million per km.

Hyd can go up to 90s frequency if needed, only thing needed is more rolling stock which isn't much costly.

No, stations cannot be rebuilt for longer trains/more passengers & upgrading signalling too is costly. These systems are designed to be 'future-proof', so need for spending further on this do not arise.

Indians like to compare their low capacity initial cost with high capacity from start BD projects.

All of 20 km 'high capacity' ? BTW I couldn't find any mention of CBTC too anywhere for Dhaka.

They were trying to compare high capacity Padma Bridge railway with low capacity lines in a minor Indian state

It is simply wrong to compare 'low capacity' dedicated freight corridor FEDL heavy haul line with 'high capacity' single line, non-electrified Padma rail link. Sure. ;)
