The work on Indian government’s ambitious ‘Metrino’ project is going to begin in next two months and travelling in driverless pods will soon turn into a reality.
The Nitin Gadkari-led Road and Transport Ministry has received four tenders for the Rs 4, 000 crore ambitious project.
"We have received four tenders for Metrino project to be build from Dhaula Kuan in Delhi to Manesar in Haryana. We have received four tenders for that and expect the work to begin in the two months," said Gadkari.
The ropeway like system that runs on electricity and driverless pods will decongest the traffic on the 70 kilometre stretch.
“The capital cost of Metrino is Rs 50 crore per km against Rs 250 crore per km of the metro,” said Gadkari.
Under the project, fully automatic, driverless small pods travel independently suspended over an overhead network which is usually 5-10 meters above ground.
A few months back a presentation on the project was made before Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Union Cabinet.
Gadkari said the massive work is underway to reform the face of the highways sector and the pilot project will be one such step in the direction.
