## ANSWER

THE MINISTER OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS (SHRI MANOHAR LAL)

(a) to (e): The statement is laid on the Table of the House.

STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PARTS (a) TO (e) OF THE LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO. 260* FOR ANSWER ON 12 TH  DECEMBER, 2024 REGARDING STATUS OF VISAKHAPATNAM METRO TRAIN PROJECTS ASKED BY SHRI SRIBHARAT MATHUKUMILLI. (a): The details of Metro Rail projects sanctioned by Government of India along with breakup of funds released by Central & State Government and Multilateral/Bilateral funding agencies in last three years and current year are enclosed as Annexure-I. (b) : Urban Planning is a State subject, therefore, formulation of proposals with  regard  to  Metro  Rail  projects  is  done  by  the  respective  State Governments.  The  details  of  Metro  Rail  project  proposals  currently submitted to the Union Government by State governments are enclosed as  Annexure-II.  Further,  Metro  Rail  projects  are  cost  intensive  which require  extensive  examination/appraisal  at  different  level  in  Central Government  and  their  approval  depends  on  feasibility  of  projects  and availability of resources. Therefore, as such no time limit can be specified for grant of approval of these projects. (c) to (e) : The Government of Andhra Pradesh proposed Visakhapatnam Light Metro Rail Project in January, 2024 consisting 76.90 km of network length on Public Private Partnership (PPP) model at an estimated Project cost  of  Rs  14,309  crores.  The  Comprehensive  Mobility  Plan  (CMP) document submitted along with the proposal has been found to be more than five years old, which is not in accordance to appraisal guidelines of Central Government. Government of Andhra Pradesh has been asked to submit  latest  CMP  at  the  earliest  for  undertaking  appraisal  process. Further, this Ministry has not received any proposal of Vijayawada Metro Rail Project in accordance with Metro Rail Policy, 2017 from Government of Andhra Pradesh.
