GDD officials said the next few weeks will be crucial for giving a momentum to the project which is aimed at boosting public transport in the city."The Guwahati Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) has submitted Request for Proposal (RFP) for carrying out pre-feasibility study on the project to the state government about a month ago. The RFP needs to be cleared by the government before GMDA floats tenders to invite firms to carry out pre-feasibility study and prepare a detailed project report (DPR)," an official here said.GMDA officials added that they are expecting the state government to clear the RFP by September-end, which will give an impetus to the metro rail project.M Angamuthu, chief executive officer of GMDA, told TOI that once the RFP is cleared by the government, GMDA will float a global tender inviting firms to conduct the pre-feasibility study on the project. He said the pre-feasibility study will present a clear view about the project. "It will decide where the stations should be constructed, whether metro rail will be over ground or underground and also the route alignments," he added. |
