NOIDA: The tempo at which the Aqua Line metro corridor was progressing had found point out within the Limca Book of Records. But the 29.7km Noida-Greater Noida link will surely miss its scheduled launch date of April 2018. The launch now seems most likely most effective within the latter half of the yr.
The corridor, which entered the record e book for building of the very best number of girders on a single line in a month, has been crippled by way of various issues, the prime among them being power provide. Officials said though 99% of the civil work had been completed, the project is but to behavior oscillation trials — which would focus on curves around 8 of the 21 stations. On Thursday, two new trains arrived from China’s Nanjing to participate within the trials, taking the number of trains now available to simply three.
Officials within the Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC) said the pains had been anticipated to start out on April 15 because Uttar Pradesh Power Transmission Corporation Ltd (UPPTCL) had started supplying power to the corridor most effective five days in the past. The trials usually are performed for 3 months sooner than the professional launch.
Asked about the delay, assets said UPPTCL was intended to set up a substation in Noida’s Sector 148 however that got behind schedule by way of over three months. The assets said UPPTCL had been going through a finances crunch as smartly.
Initially, NMRC had thought to be getting power from RC Green, but it was later found that may no longer be enough. So, it wrote to the state power application to supply electrical energy for dry runs.
“There have been sure bottlenecks. We are on the right track however there was a delay in getting power. NMRC has now set up two receiving substations that will lend a hand transmit electrical energy to the metro stations,” NMRC common supervisor (finance) PD Upadhyay said.
Puneet Gupta, government engineer in UPPTCL, agreed there had been a delay in putting in place the receiving station in addition to getting electrical protection clearance for the project. “We could no longer have provided power till the project got an electrical protection clearance,” he said.
Officials said 11 trains, all manufactured by way of a Chinese company and imported, would run alongside the road when the corridor turns into operational. “We are looking to start an oscillation trial around April 15,” Upadhayay said. The trial will cover 8 stations — six in Greater Noida and two in Noida.
Even after the trial runs, there are a number of steps sooner than passenger services and products start. After the pains are over, the Research Design and Standards Organisation (RDSO) below the railway ministry will test the tracks.
An RDSO team had visited Greater Noida for an inspection last week and had made sure tips. Officials declined to decide to any commissioning date, hanging the onus on the RDSO’s go-ahead and a clearance from the commissioner of metro rail protection.
The Aqua Line has 21 metro stations and is meant to be serviced by way of 19 trains — each and every with a capability of one,000 passengers.
