Abstract:

In India, there are currently more than 26 metro rail projects at various levels of planning, construction and operation. A number of new phases of metro rails are being planned and will be launched soon. Various studies have documented delays in planning and execution of metro rail projects in India as well as the world. In this study, an attempt will be made to understand various issues or impediments which are faced by the metro rail corporation in executing the metro rail projects. There are numerous factors which may cause hindrance to the project execution such as funding capacity of governments, finance arrangements, competing technologies, feasible operational model, stakeholder issues etc. The factors affecting the execution of metro rail projects will be researched using the case of Nagpur Metro Rail Project. The scope of the study will be limited from mobilization phase to commissioning phase only. The methodology of the research is based upon formal interactions carried out with the decision makers and project execution group of Nagpur Metro Rail Corporation. The outcome of the research is significant in creating process flows in executing metro rail projects faster and effectively.
