## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) OF THE MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS (SHRI HARDEEP SINGH PURI)

- (a) & (b) The  details  of  metro  rail  projects  under  implementation  in various states are given in Annexure.
- (c) to (e) Urban transport is an integral part of urban development which is a state subject. Respective state governments are, therefore, responsible for initiating and developing urban transport infrastructure, including metro rail projects in cities or urban agglomerates. The Central Government considers financial assistance for metro rail proposals, on the basis of the feasibility of the  proposal  and  availability  of  resources,  as  and  when  posed  by  the concerned state governments. Government of India has issued the Metro Rail Policy, 2017 in August 2017, which focuses on systematic planning and implementation of metro rail systems in a more comprehensive and sustainable  manner.  The  policy aims  at  ascertaining  and  enhancing  the feasibility  of  metro  rail  projects  from  economic,  social  and  environmental perspective.  The  policy  is  a  guide  to  state  governments  for  preparing comprehensive  proposals  for  metro  rail  projects. The  policy  also  enables innovative financing through Transit Oriented Development (TOD) and Value Capture Finance (VCF) and encourages Public Private Partnership for implementation of the metro rail projects to leverage both public and private resources, expertise and entrepreneurship.
