Once this metro rail is up and running, the sub urbs and the surrounding areas around the city will also see a lot of development i think as the access and the travel tto these places will become easier. Already, the places where the metro ral is scheduled to come has see a lot of increase in the real estate prices.

The depot works could have been sped up if a subway built recently was constructed at least a year ago. Due to the building of this sub way, the work on the depot had to be stopped. This would have actually saved money too

At the Muttom depot, around 5 lakh lorry loads of red earth has been used for raising and the levelling the 58-acre premises. And as much as another 10,000 loads are required to raise it by another two feet when pile capping gets over

Revenue officials also often withheld the permission to quarry the earth to the depot and also seized vehicles owned by the contractor. Delay in shifting overhead power lines for want of land to locate new transmission towers too posed problems

So finally the work has begun. There were delays in the constrcution of this depot in the past. It mainly happened due to the handing over of the allotted land and also due to agitation in many places. But I think that once the work begins, it will go on pretty fast.

the depot here would be commissioned in two stages. Initially, the minimum work needed for commissioning the first set of coaches will be done. The first stage is expected to be completed by December 2015. Alstom, the French Company that is in charge of this Project for the supply of coaches, is expected to dispatch the first lot of coaches by December 2015 or January 2016.
