Project detail:
Sustainable Multimodal and Resilient Transport for Haryana (Phase 1)
A Series of Project (SOP) developing a hierarchical and integrated transport system at three-levels is proposed to promote spatially balanced regional development and support Haryana's growth. The first level focuses on enhancing urban public transport in major cities starting from Gurugram Metro (Millennium City Center to Cyber City) as SOP-1, integrated with expanded metro networks and electric buses in Gurugram and Faridabad (SOP-2). The second level aims at improving regional connectivity between major economic hubs and their peripheral towns within a 150 km radius, as exemplified by the Delhi-SNB-Alwar corridor (SOP-3). The third level emphasizes the importance of intercity transport (SOP-4) to connect small-medium size cities with each other as well as with the major cities , with a significant role for buses to boost economic activities, facilitate access to jobs & services, and promote inclusive growth, particularlybenefiting women and vulnerable populations. This operation focuses on SOP-1, which consists of for components. Component 1: Investments in an accessible Metrorail system. This component will finance the construction of approximately 28.50 km of elevated metro line in Gurugram, with 27 metro stations, depots, rolling stocks, and electric, telecommunication, signaling, and control systems. Component 2: Multimodal integration with first- and last- mile connectivity for the stations. This component aims to support multimodal integration by: 1) ensuring physical integration for seamless transfer to and from other modes such as Delhi Metro, Gurugram Rapid Metro Rail, the proposed regional Rapid Rail Transit System (RRTS), and the city bus system; 2) facilitating operational integration with city buses and para transit through appropriate infrastructure (docking, charging, parking) at metro stations to complement rather than compete with metro operations; 3) promoting non-motorized transport through improvement in safety measures and public space infrastructure around stations areas (pavement, signaling, street lighting, shading, and sheltering); and 4) achieving digital integration by utilizing a common ticketing system (National Common Mobility Card - NCMC) and journey planner for both metro as well as city bus systems. Component 3: Capacity building, institutional strengthening and project management. Technical support will be provided to GMRL and GMDA for planning and designing inclusive and green infrastructure, ensuring meaningful public participation and citizen engagement for an integrated and user-centric metro system with efficient first and last mile connectivity. This component would support the key government institutions in promoting gender safety and inclusion through a gender intervention action plan, facilitating integrated and compact urban development through the conceptual design and planning of prioritized TOD sites along the metro corridor, and incorporating international best practices in contract management, construction, operations, grievance redress mechanisms, and monitoring and evaluation mechanisms. Component 4: Contingent Emergency Response (CERC). This component is included under the project in accordance with OP/BP 10.00, paragraphs 12 and 13, for situations of urgent need of assistance, as a project specific CERC. Currently the project is in planning and design stage, with ESIA in advanced stage of preparation. Works under the components are yet to start after design is completed.
