## ANSWER

MINISTER OF RAILWAYS, INFORMATION & BROADCASTING AND ELECTRONICS & INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

(SHRI ASHWINI VAISHNAW)

(a)  to    (d):  The  Suburban  Rail  services  in  Hyderabad and  Secunderabad cities popularly known as Multi Modal Transport Services (MMTS) project costing ₹ 1169 Cr.  were sanctioned on cost sharing basis with the State

Government in the ratio of 1(Ministry of Railways) : 2 (Govt. of Telangana) and fully commissioned in March, 2024.

State Government is yet to pay the balance share of State Government of ₹ 279 Cr. towards this project.

The following lines were included in the MMTS project:-

| S. No.   | Name of Lines                                         |   Length (Km) |
|----------|-------------------------------------------------------|---------------|
| 1.       | Ghatkesar - Moula Ali C Cabin Quadrupling             |            12 |
| 2        | Telapur - Ramchandrapuram New line                    |             5 |
| 3.       | Medchal - Bolarum Doubling                            |            14 |
| 4.       | Falaknuma - Umdanagar Doubling                        |            14 |
| 5.       | Sanathnagar - Moula Ali C cabin by pass line Doubling |            22 |
| 6.       | Secunderabad - Bolarum Electrification                |            15 |
|          | Total                                                 |            82 |

Further, a 3 rd  line from Ghatkesar - Yadadri (33 km) costing ₹ 412 Cr. has been sanctioned in 2016 on cost sharing basis under MMTS. The project could not be taken up due to non-depositing of funds towards its share by State Government.

Completion  of  Railway  project/s  depends  on  various  factors  like  land acquisition by State Government, forest clearance by officials of forest department,  shifting  of  infringing  utilities,  statutory  clearances  from various authorities, geological and topographical conditions of area, law and  order  situation  in  the  area  of  project/s  site,  number  of  working months in a year for particular project site due to climatic conditions etc. All these factors affect the completion time of the project/s.
