## MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE (SHRI TOKHAN SAHU)

- (a) 'Urban  planning'  is  a  State  subject,  therefore,  the  respective  State Governments are responsible for planning, initiating  and developing urban transport  infrastructure  including  integration  amongst  various  modes  of public  transport.  As  per  Metro  Rail  Policy,  2017,  the  Central  Government considers  financial  assistance  for  Metro  Rail  proposals  in  cities  or  urban agglomerates  based  on  the  feasibility  of  the  proposal  and  availability  of resources,  as  and  when  posed  by  the  concerned  State  Government/Union Territories  (UTs).  At  present,  about  1011  kms  of  metro  rail  network  is operational  in  the  country.  The  details  of  operational  metro  rail  network, city and State-wise, are given in Annexure-I.

(b)  to  (e)  The  details  of  metro  rail  proposals  received  from  various  State Governments/Union  Territories  (UTs)  for  central  financial  assistance  and sanctioned by Government of India are given in Annexure-II. As per sanction order, Metro projects are generally completed in four to six years from the date of sanction. However, actual completion of projects depends upon the timely  acquisition  of  land,  tree  cutting  permission,  court  cases  etc.    The funds allocated and released by Government of India to agencies implementing  metro  rail  projects  including  Viability  Gap  Funding  (VGF) released for metro rail projects implemented under Public Private Partnership  (PPP)  during  the  last  three  years  and  current  year  city  and State/UT wise are given in Annexure-III.
