March 19, 2024: A two-coach Metro network will be introduced on the Tricity Metro line under the proposed mass rapid transit system (MRTS) project, according to media reports. The revised alignments released by the Rail India Technical and Economic Services (RITES) were approved by all stakeholders. The upcoming metro rail service is expected to boost connectivity and reduce the rising road traffic congestion in the Tricity region, which includes Chandigarh, Mohali and Panchkula.
The first phase of the Tricity Metro Network has been extended from the initial 66 km to a total of 77 km, as per reports. The revised proposal for Phase 1 of the Tricity Metro network includes a comprehensive coverage of 35 km in Chandigarh, 31 km in Mohali/New Chandigarh and 11 km in Panchkula.
Further, there is an 11-km extension with 6 km joining Paroul in New Chandigarh to Sarangpur and around 5 km connecting Panchkula ISBT to Panchkula Extension in Sector 20. These extensions, which were previously part of phase 2, have now been incorporated into the ongoing metro project.
