According to a statement issued by the commerce ministry, this project will play a pivotal role in nation-building by integrating various modes of transport, offer substantial socio-economic benefits and will contribute to the overall development of the regions.
“The project will result in multi-modal integration of the metro with bus and rail stations, decongestion of roads, travel time savings, fuel cost savings, reliable operation and performance, and reduction in vehicular emission and pollution,” the ministry said.
The NPG suggested the project proponents plan for adequate transition infrastructure where inter-modal interface is involved, it added.
