The Indian Army has successfully completed the construction of a foot overbridge (FOB) at Ambivli railway station and launched it on Thursday morning.

The civil work for the pile foundation had commenced in November 2017, while the work on the fabrication of the piers, staircase and canopy had also started at the bridging site simultaneously, read an official note.

As per the Nation Building project, the Indian Army was given the task of construction of three FOBs for the Indian Railways at Elphinstone, Currey Road and Ambivli railway stations. Of the three, the FOB at the Ambivli railway station has been successfully completed.

On Thursday, the Army launched the Ambivli FOB around 11.15 a.m. Central Railway (CR) had planned a mega block between 9.54 a.m and 3.02 p.m., but the work was completed before time and the block was cleared at 2.45 p.m. “It was a perfect launch, and we are confident of meeting the deadline,” Brigadier Mohan said.  The task of building the FOBs is being undertaken by the Bombay Engineer Group and Centre, Kirkee from the Indian Army as a part of aid to civil authority for safety and smooth functioning of essential public services, it added.

The statement further noted that the FOB is planned to be complete by January 31 that will ensure safety and security of pedestrian moving across the railway tracks at Ambivli.

Ambivli railway station is a railway station on the Central line of the Mumbai Suburban Railway network. It is located on the route between Kalyan and Kasara. Shahad is the previous stop and Titwala is the next stop.

The Army started work on the project on November 20. CR organised 30 special services from Kalyan during the block and co-ordinated with civic and State authorities to organise 94 extra buses between Kalyan and Titwala, Shahapur and Kasara.

As regards the Elphinstone Road-Parel and Currey Road foot overbridges, the deadline of January 31 will be missed, and be ready by February 15, officials have said. The bridge launching (a part of bridgeconstruction) of the Elphinstone Road-Parel is likely to take place during the Republic Day weekend.

The third FOB at Ambivli was launched on Thursday, and is expected to be ready as scheduled.

“We are ready to launch the Elphinstone Road-Parel bridge on January 26, 27 and 28. These are the dates we have given to the Railways. The work is on schedule,” Brigadier Dhiraj Mohan, Bombay Sappers, said. The three-metre-wide FOB is being built as an extension of the north-end FOB of Parel station.

Railway block

Mukul Jain, Divisional Regional Manager, Western Railway, said, “There will be a railway block on the night of January 26 for the work. A few services might have to be cancelled.”

Sources said the construction work could commence only by mid-December, as the alignment of the bridge and the location of the piers were finalised by late November. The initial plan was to start work by November-end. Initial designs had three piers, which had to be reduced to two due to the planned Parel terminus, said sources. The delay in acquisition of private land by the Railways has been cited as the primary reason for the hold-up at Currey Road station.

The Army was called in to build the three bridges after the stampede at Elphinstone Road on September 29, which claimed 23 lives.

Buoyed by the success of Hyderabad Metro Rail, efforts are now being intensified to get the mono rail on track in the city and in Warangal. Two companies – one from Switzerland and Poland have evinced interest in taking up the mono rail project on different corridors in the city and Warangal.

While the focus is on having mono rail operations in places that lack Hyderabad Metro Rail connectivity in the city, plans have been drawn up to operate mono rail from Kazipet to Warangal covering a distance of about 15 km.

In Hyderabad, the emphasis is on having mono rail connectivity to the airport, Shamshabad. Accordingly, Gachibowli to Airport and Kanchanbagh Junction (Owaisi Hospital) to Airport routes are being identified, sources said.

With the traffic heading to airport increasing every passing year, the need for better connectivity to the airport has become inevitable. Measures are also being taken to extend the elevated P.V.Narasimha Rao Expressway till Shamshabad to ease traffic flow to the airport.

Sharing details, Mayor Bonthu Rammohan said the two companies have evinced interest in taking up the mono rail project under Build Operate and Transfer (BOT) mode. Necessary studies and surveys have been completed for taking up the project and other modalities are being explored, he said.

Following the success of Metro Rail in the city, Municipal Administration and Urban Development Minister KT Rama Rao is touring different countries to explore different possibilities for Metro Phase II in the city. Metro operations were formally launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on November 28 and every day nearly one lakh passengers are availing the service.

Unlike the Metro, mono rail is cost-effective and the construction cost will be 30 per cent lesser. More importantly, it’s construction will be much faster as the majority of the components are precast.

“Along with a few senior officials, I will be visiting Switzerland in next few days to inspect the mono rail project and their operations,” Rammohan added.

Railway Minister Piyush Goyal on Thursday inspected the Krantivira Sangolli Rayanna railway station in Bengaluru. Union Minister Ananth Kumar was also present during the time of inspection. Talking to media, Goyal said, “I attended a conference with Ananth Kumar and discussed on developing a 160 km long network, which will be World-class Bengaluru suburban network, with an investment of Rs. 12,000 crore. I appeal the state government to allow 50 percent transit oriented development (TOD policy) and approve five FSIs and the rest 50 percent will be spending by the Central Government to initiate and complete the plan.” The Railway Minister interacted with the gangmen/pointmens and the passengers present at the station and asked them their inconvenience to solve the issues.

After the inspection, Piyush Goyal expressed confidence of taking the suburban railway project to its logical conclusion. Bengalureans have been hoping for a suburban rail on the lines of the one in Mumbai to de-congest the city, but the project has remained on paper for over two decades.

The minister said that if the State government provides five floor space-index (transit oriented development) the proposed suburban network can be completed with the cost borne equally by the State government and the Railways. He is ready to reduce the State government’s share from 80% as proposed earlier to 50%.

The minister said, “A comprehensive plan has prepared to build a suburban network 160 kilometres in Bengaluru. Half of the proposed railway line will be built at the ground level and the remaining as an elevated corridor. We are confident of clearing the decks to implement this project. There is a need to integrate the railway line with metro stations, which help passengers travel in either mode of transport. We need to connect the international airport, and Electronics City and Whitefield, which will help Bengalureans.”

He added that there is a proposal to develop major railway stations around the city. Union Minister Ananth Kumar, who accompanied Goyal during his visit, said, “the seven radial lines which lead to Kengeri, Yelahanka, Baiyappanahalli and other places could be doubled and electrified to operate suburban trains. There is a need to integrate metro stations at various points to de-congest the city.

RITES, which had undertaken a study, had reported that a suburban railway network on the lines of the one in Mumbai will help 35 lakh passengers in Bengaluru, and that is the only way out to de-congest the city.”

The Department of Railways (DoRW), under the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport (MoPIT), has said that it will finalise the DPR of the entire project with the completion of the Butwal-Gaddachauki section–the remaining section of the larger project.

“We have already started working on the final stretch, and we are on schedule. At this pace, we can complete the DPR of the entire project in 8-9 months,” said DoRW Spokesperson Prakash Bhakta Upadhyaya.

The department has been working on different sections, dividing the 945-km Mechi-Mahakali project. While the DPR of sections east of Butwal has already been completed, only the western section which lies to the west of Butwal remains now, said Upadhyaya.

The railway department has already completed the DPR of the Bardibas-Simara, Simara-Butwal and Bardibas-Kakadbhitta sections. The DPR of these stretches were conducted separately: 108-km Bardibas-Simara section, 127-km Simara-Tansariya section and 64-km Tansariya-Butwal section, according to Upadhyaya.

The department has also completed the DPR of area between eastern Bardibas and Kakadbhitta in two segments: 137-km Bardibas-Inaruwa section and 103-km Inaruwa-Kakadvitta section.

It said the DPR of the remaining stretch of Butwal-Gaddachauki of the East-West Railway Project would be carried out by dividing the area into four segments: 115-km Butwal-Lamahi; 102-km Lamahi-Kohalpur, 95-km Kohalpur-Sukhad and 94-km Sukhad-Gaddachauki.
“We are currently working on the Butwal-Gaddachowki railway line that has been divided into four packages, each around 100km in length. Working on such stretches makes it easier and consume less time,” added Upadhyaya.

The East-West Railway Line is estimated to cost Rs 69.52 billion.

A new freight train service linking the east China port city of Xiamen with Budapest, capital of Hungary, started Friday, making it the newest China-Europe freight train route.

At about 10:45 a.m., a train with 35 containers left Haicang District station in Xiamen, carrying about 3.5 million U.S. dollars of goods, including electric products, clothes, shoes and construction materials.

The 11,595 km journey, which takes one stop at China’s southwest city of Xi’an, will take 18 days.

It will operate every Friday and creates easier access for products from Xiamen and southeast Asia to travel to Europe.

The city has rail routes to five European countries, including Germany and Russia, with more than 200 trips made since services to Europe were launched in August 2015.

A Joint Expert Committee Meeting between Pakistan Railways and Iranian Railways on Thursday decided that fortnightly passenger train between Pakistan and Iran will be restarted, as the security situation is getting better.

The Iranian delegation was headed by Majid Arjouni, DG Zahidan Railways. It was decided that train will be destined for Mashad or Qom and will be resumed prior to Muharram. The regular running of 15 freight trains, on demand of merchants, between Quetta and Zahidan was also conversed.

The proposed dates will be shared by Iranian side. As the security is improving in Pakistan, Pakistan Railways’ divisions will be in a position to dispatch consignment to other parts of the country as well.

The up gradation of Spezand and Taftan (ML III) section was also discussed. The up gradation includes complete replacement of track structure, conversion of 183 dips into bridges, rehabilitation of old bridges and provision of proper signalling.

Usually, Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is imported from Iran via road. Pakistan Railways also proposed specialised containers to transport LPG from Iran and offered a concession in its freight structure to promote trade through railways.

Economic Cooperation Organisation (ECO) Islamabad-Tehran-Istanbul (ITI) Train was also discussed during the meeting where Pakistan Railways requested the Iranian side to persuade ECO secretariat for the revival of ECO train to Istanbul, instead of Kosekoy.  Pakistan Railways also mentioned that revision of 1959 Agreement between Pakistan Railways and Iranian Railways is under process.

During the meeting, Pakistan Railways informed about the revived communication with Taftan section while Iranian side requested import of mechanical and civil material from Pakistan Railways.

Japanese steel and engineering companies are in the forefront to bag major supply contracts for a $17-billion Indian bullet train, several sources said. Japan is funding most of the project, and Japanese companies are likely to supply at least 70 per cent of the core components of the rail line, said five sources in New Delhi with direct knowledge of the matter.

A Japanese transport ministry official involved in the project said the two countries were still working out a strategy for the supply of key components, and would unveil a plan for procurements around July. The official spoke on condition of anonymity.

The September 2017 agreement between Japan and India for the bullet train project included two clauses—the promotion of ‘Make in India’ and ‘Transfer of Technology’ —through which New Delhi had hoped to set up manufacturing facilities in the country, generate jobs and get a toehold in Japanese technology. “The Japanese have reservations on certain issues because they have a concern that there is a difference in the culture and systems of Japan from the culture and systems in India,” said Achal Khare, the Managing Director of National High Speed Rail Corp Ltd (NHSRCL), the agency tasked to execute the bullet train project. “The work culture is very different,” he said.

Khare did not elaborate but two Indian Railways officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said their Japanese counterparts had raised questions about efficiency in Indian companies and their ability to meet timelines.

The World Bank currently ranks India 100th out of 190 nations on the ease of doing business, giving it relatively low marks for starting a business, enforcing contracts and dealing with construction permits.

Tomoyuki Nakano, Director-International Engineering Affairs in the Railway Bureau at Japan’s Transport Ministry, said the issue was that Indian companies had no experience or technologies specialising in high-speed railway systems at present. “I don’t think Japanese are concerned about a difference in the work culture,” Nakano said. He and other Japanese officials said efforts were continuing to fulfil the ‘Make in India’ component of the agreement by promoting collaborations between companies from the two countries.

Still, several Indian officials said it was by and large accepted that Indian companies would not have a major part to play in the bullet train project.

Japan will get major leeway because the bullet train is largely funded by a 50-year loan provided by its government, said a close aide of Modi, who spoke on condition of anonymity. “At this stage to expect Indian companies to have a bigger share in manufacturing appears to be a little difficult,” said a senior official at the Indian government’s policy think-tank, NITI Aayog, who is involved in the negotiations.

Modi’s flagship ‘Make in India’ initiative aims to lift the share of manufacturing in India’s $2 trillion economy to 25 percent and create 100 million jobs by 2022.

However, midway through Modi’s five-year term, manufacturing was still at 17 percent of India’s GDP in the 2016/17 financial year from 15 percent previously.

Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe laid the foundation stone for India’s first bullet train in September last year. It will link Mumbai with Ahmedabad, the largest commercial city in Modi’s home state Gujarat.

Nippon Steel and Sumitomo Metal, Japan’s biggest steelmaker, and other companies like JFE Holdings, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Toshiba and Hitachi are likely to bid for various contracts, said three senior Indian government officials directly involved in the project.

Nippon Steel said it would not comment on specific projects.

JFE, Hitachi and Toshiba said they were interested in the project but had not finalised plans, including any possibilities of joint ventures with Indian firms. Mitsubishi Heavy said it had not decided if it wanted to be involved.

The sole collaboration aimed at the bullet train project is between Kawasaki Heavy Industries and India’s Bharat Heavy Electricals, which aims to win carriage orders.

Japanese government officials have asked for more bullet train corridors in India before transferring technology, three senior Indian officials said.

But New Delhi is unlikely to announce any new projects until the final cost and commercial feasibility of the Mumbai-Ahmedabad link is clear, the officials said.

“It’s like a chicken and egg situation on technology. The Japanese want an economy of scale and business but the Indian view is that India is a big market that once this market is explored the business will automatically be generated,” said Khare from NHSRCL.

New Delhi has tried to help Indian steel companies grab a slice of the pie. The Indian government last year mediated negotiations between Nippon Steel and India’s Jindal Steel and Power to set up a joint venture to manufacture rails, but the talks fell through after the Japanese major raised quality concerns, three sources in New Delhi said.

State-owned Steel Authority of India, which for decades has been the main supplier of rails to Indian Railways, was also overlooked by Japanese companies due to quality concerns, the sources said.

Nippon Steel declined comment and while Jindal and SAIL did not reply to e-mails seeking comment.

Left with little choice, Indian firms will now largely provide raw materials like cement and supply manpower for the assembly of rails, the sources said.

India’s UltraTech Cement, Larsen & Toubro, Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd and Ambuja Cements are among those in the race for the supply of construction materials and power, the two Indian railways officials said.

Indian Railways is likely to borrow a record Rs 42,000 crore in 2018-19 to fund its capacity expansion programme. The amount, to be raised by the Indian Railways Finance Corporation (IRFC), is Rs 7,000 crore or a fifth more than the total borrowings of the national transporter in the current fiscal.

The ministry plans to utilise the funds for high traction projects such as doubling of important freight corridors, electrification of tracks along dense routes and procuring of rolling stock including German technology based LHB passenger coaches and electric engines, officials said. Nearly Rs.22,000 crore of the total borrowings will be raised by IRFC from markets while the remaining amount would come from the Life Insurance Corporation of India, said a senior official, who did not wish to be identified.

Indian Railways has been steadily raising its borrowing through Indian Railways Finance Corporation in the past five years. Railway Minister Piyush Goyal recently announced that IRFC, which currently acts as the financial arm of railways and which the government plans to list, will soon get into new streams of business. Currently, more than 60% of the funds raised by IRFC meet the rolling stock requirement of railways.

The remaining funding is for project financing. Goyal had said last week that the railway ministry wasn’t solely looking at funds from the finance ministry but also planned to undertake a massive asset monetisation programme. The railways is planning to monetise assets including its prime land bank and power transmission lines to raise more than Rs 30,000 crore. The move to step up borrowings must be accompanied by radical reforms to raise earnings. Rail finances will improve only when the when the practice of freight and upper-class passengers subsidising lower-class fares ends. The government has announced a rail development authority, but the regulator should have the powers to set tariff and settle contractual disputes in private public sector partnerships must be in place. It makes sense to recast the railway board on a corporate model to improve finances. For the next financial year, the national transporter has proposed a plan outlay of Rs 1.46 lakh crore and has approached the finance ministry to provide almost Rs 60,000 crore as gross budgetary support.

Foldable Wheel Chair along with Ramp  facility inaugurated :

Guntur Division has taken up a significant step forward in making trains more accessible to Divyang (Differently-abled) passengers, aged and passengers with limited mobility. Wheelchairs are provided in all the stations on the Zone to facilitate needy passengers boarding and de-boarding the trains.

Towards this, an initiative has been taken up on Guntur Division, to address the issue and to provide a more comfortable and hassle free access to needy passengers by developing a user friendly proto type ramp which further perfected in consultation with the industries working in this sector. This ramp will help to push the wheel chair into the coach and then worked on a wheel chair which will have access into the narrow aisles of all coaches.   The real big challenge was to make a wheel chair comfortable to the Divyang (disabled passengers) and enters the doors of all coaches especially 3AC coaches also. K. Baburao, Senior Divisional Mechanical Engineer, Guntur Division took initiative in developing and finalizing the concept.
