Heard of Delhi metro genius ? It is one of the largest in the world and would soon reach 330 km length (2018)
dude... I lit the matchis... dont blame poor guys... lolI sometimes think these guys are throwing stones just to seek some attension in their threads. Or are they for real?
Yes, it's true, the belief is "high prices = obv greater quality"

First comment? The writer himself is comparing apples to oranges. And his reasoning is juvenile at best. The stations are small, metro's are small. But he categorically denied the fact that, metro construction is cheap because in India, it involves different industries working together, with raw materials from domestic markets, and a lot of experience in constructing railways make it cost less. while BD is building it's first metro, with imported materials, imported engineers, with the help of foreign companies, making it's cost to shoot up. You do not have companies like L&T, or Tata which provide engineering and material support for large projects. Government tax more on metro compared to railways or roads.
It's not you, even without your comment, the members will make this about us. Very typical of some particular members.

Insecure!?! How? I did explain this 'analysis' earlier in post #6.
Again, like I have already said, you don't have industries that support metro projects. Say Larsen & Toubro for example, I was working on one of their overseas metro construction in MU, they are responsible for a numerous metro constructions in India. The metro that L&T construct follows the same FOS as that of the Japanese.
this is pdf, should I say anything more? 
They run 8 coach rakes, each with a capacity of 300 at a headway as low as 2 minutes 18 seconds. Now calculate PPHPD.
DMRC's Phase III which is about to open costs a total of $6.5 billion for 150 km. Compare that to Dhaka.
Such as ?
Cheap, low quality, shoddy Indian metro- now at Qatar !!!
L&T Construction wins Rs 4510 Crs Doha Metro Project
Quite rich coming from rich & technologically advanced bangladesh.
@Nilgiri did these folks file any patent in USPTO last year ??
Phase 1 is around 67 km. Rest of the network would be opened in a few months.
The figures are called Passengers Per Hour Per Direction (PPHPD). It means the maximum capacity in one direction. it doesn't mean that itwould always carry 60,000 people in direction per hour at all around the day.
Anyway it is not correct to compare unbuilt Dhaka metro to any existing Indian one. Mumbai is building 190 km simultaneously. Even smaller hyderabad built 67 km in its fiest phase.
And even with this legacy of license raj, Indians get quality products at lower prices than Bangladeshis.

Your cost shoots up because you need to import the raw materials while India has it's own industries that produce the same, take steel for example

Should I bring the amount of cement too?
Who claims we are on any level. Nobody claimed anywhere that India is a first world paradise. India is rich and poor. But certainly not a LDC that exports garments to run country.
About the link
More than half of them are interested in India bashing, including majority of the south Asians, while neither of them are any better economically even with their relatively small size. Not to forget the middle kingdom Chinese and false flags.
What are you trying to prove here ? All I see is a bunch of CCP paid trolls trolling in a thread about a showpiece robots.
Anyway coming to robots, we now make articulated industrial robots with payload upto 10 kg.
And yup we are at another level. We are not an LDC which can only manufacture textiles.
