Will the Chennai Metro Rail Meet the October Deadline?

Posted on: 23/Aug/2014 2:36:45 PM

As the Chennai Metro Rail is chasing forward to convene the October deadline of the foremost commercial drive from Koyambedu to Alandur, it is greatly doubtful that the seven stations in this stretch out would be geared up before the end of October.

Even though the officials are lying on to the October target, but the metro rail labors divulge that the target is expected to be extended further till the end of this year, said a metro rail source.

Even as the work in CMBT is approaching the completion with petty electrical work, and also assigning and testing of lifts and escalators is in advance, few interior works like flooring, plastering, painting and false ceiling is still impending. Structural work in almost all stations apart from Vadapalani has been done.
Because of work delay by Consolidated Construction Consortium, the contract was ended and the new contract was conferred to four firms including Tiruchitambalam Projects Limited (TPL), Saraswati Construction Company, Nagarjuna Construction Company and URC Constructions.
