Lucknow Metro is a rapid transit system serving the city of Lucknow in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.[7][8] Construction of the line began on 27 September 2014 with the 8.5 km (5.3 mi) stretch from Transport Nagar to Charbagh Railway Station which began its commercial operation on 5 September 2017, making it the fastest built metro rail system in the country.

The Lucknow metro project is the most expensive transport system in Uttar Pradesh to date with an estimated total cost for Phase 1A (Red Line) and 1B (Blue Line) of about $2 billion, of which ₹6,928 crore (US$960 million) is being spent on phase 1A.[9] The Uttar Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation, a 50:50 joint venture between the Government of India and the Government of Uttar Pradesh, was established to build and operate the metro.[10]

Once completed, the Lucknow Metro will have 2 Lines (1A & 1B), the longer Red (North-South) line, running from Airport to Munshi Pulia with a total length of 22.878 km (14.216 mi), and the Blue (East-West) line, running from Charbagh Railway Station to Vasant Kunj. Charbagh Railway Station will serve as the junction station between the two lines. Further, Metro Phase 2 & 3 will consist of 6 lines of 74 km. Phase 2 will be of 3 lines from IIM Lucknow to Rajajipuram, Indira Nagar to CG City and CG City to CCS International Airport. Phase 3 will be of 3 lines from Munshipulia to Jankipuram, Charbagh to SGPGI and Sachivalaya to CG City. Phase 4 will further see metro expanding to outer areas and to satellite towns.

History

The original design of the metro project included one north-south and one east-west corridor, with links through Gomti Nagar. Estimated costs for the north-south corridor were ₹5,413 crore (equivalent to ₹79 billion or US$1.1 billion in 2017), ₹3,611 crore (equivalent to ₹53 billion or US$740 million in 2017) for the east-west corridor and ₹495 crore (equivalent to ₹726 crore or US$100 million in 2017) for the link through Gomti Nagar.[11] The initial layout of the east-west corridor started from Rajajipuram and ended at Hahnemann, after passing through Gomti Nagar via Hazratganj and Patrakarpuram, a distance of 14 kilometres (8.7 mi). However, in 2010 the design was changed so the corridor started from Vasant Kunj and terminated at Charbagh, a revised distance of 13 kilometres (8.1 mi).[12]

A revised east-west corridor would have connected the Lucknow railway station at Charbagh to Vasantkunj on Hardoi Road and have a total length of 11 km (6.8 mi), including 4.29 km elevated (2.67 mi), 0.5 km ramp (0.31 mi) and 6.3 km underground (3.9 mi). Once completed the corridor would have 12 stations, seven underground, Lucknow Railway Station (Charbagh), Gautam Budh Marg, Aminabad, Pandeyganj, Chattrapati Shahuji Maharaj Medical University (King George Medical University) and Niwazganj, and five elevated, Thakurganj, Balaganj, Sarfarazganj, Moosa Bagh and the terminus at Vasant Kunj.

The design of North-South corridor had two elevated sections, with a total distance of 19 km (12 mi), separated by a 3 km tunnel (1.9 mi). The length of the ramps between the elevated and below ground sections would total 0.8 km (0.50 mi). When completed, the corridor would run for a total distance of 23 kilometres (14 mi) and connect Amausi airport to Munshipulia.[13][14] Passengers would be served by a total of 22 stations, with 19 elevated and 3 below ground.[15] Elevated stations were to be located at Chaudhary Charan Singh Airport, Amausi, Transport Nagar, Krishna Nagar, Shringar Nagar, Alambagh, ISBT, Mawaiya, Durgapuri, Charbagh. Following Charbagh station, the line descends underground where Hussain Ganj, Sachivalaya (Uttar Pradesh Secretariat) and Hazratganj stations are located. The line then returns above ground for the remaining stations of the corridor, KD Singh Babu Stadium, Lucknow University, IT College, Badshahnagar, Lekhraj Market, Ramsagar Mishra Nagar, Indira Nagar and the terminus at Munshi Pulia.[16]

For the Gomti Nagar link, the train coming from the airport terminal was to be diverted towards Gomti Nagar at the Indira Nagar trisection Polytechnic crossing along an elevated route. The planned stations were Indira Nagar Trisection, West End Mall (Waves Multiplex) Gomti Nagar & Patrakarpuram.

The metro could accommodate speeds up to 90 km/h (56 mph) but the typical usage would be at speeds of 34 km/h (21 mph) for the north-south corridor and 32 km/h (20 mph) for the east-west corridor. Originally, the metro trains were to be housed in one of two depots, a 20 hectares (49 acres) depot at Vasant Kunj and another at the airport, but due to security concerns the airport depot was removed from the plan.[17]

In 2013, a report published by the Department of Housing and Urban Planning of the Government of Uttar Pradesh resulted in major changes to the metro project. The two corridor design was scrapped and replaced with one featuring a denser network of connectivity. This revision resulted in the layout of route being entirely elevated with no underground sections. The increased coverage of the metro would raise the cost of the project but reduced the operating cost per km. The reduction in operating cost is impacted by the difference in construction costs of the line itself, one km of overhead track costs ₹180 crore (US$25 million) as compared to ₹550 crore (US$77 million) for an underground track. The underground design also raised concerns about safety as well as increased energy consumption. The report also proposed the construction of an elevated Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) as a feeder service to the metro.[18]

Project timeline

Status

The collection of soil samples for metro construction began on 3 August 2009,[45] and was completed by September. The report, released in October, concluded that the soil condition was suitable for the metro rail.[46] However, due to design changes proposed by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation in 2010,[12] it was not until February 2013 that the metro project was announced.[18] Uttar Pradesh chief minister, Akhilesh Yadav, approved the project in the same month but no state funding for the project was allocated as it was expected the project would be funded by a public-private partnership.[47]

A committee headed by Uttar Pradesh chief secretary, Alok Ranjan oversaw the initial stages of development of the project.[48][49] In May 2013, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) offered financial assistance to the Government of Uttar Pradesh for the metro rail project.[23][50][51]

Phase 1A of North-South Corridor

Phase 1A comprises one underground metro station (CCS International Airport), nine elevated metro stations (Amausi, Transport Nagar, Krishna Nagar, Singar Nagar, Alambagh, Alambagh Bus Station, Mawaiya, Durgapuri, Charbagh Railway Station) and three underground metro stations (Hussain Ganj, Secretariat & Hazratganj) of North-South corridor.

Infrastructure

Rolling stock

On 5 October 2015, Alstom was awarded a ₹1,102 crore (equivalent to ₹12 billion, US$160 million or €140 million in 2017) contract to construct 20 four car electric multiple units for Phase 1A, based on their Metropolis design. The vehicles are to be constructed at Alstom's factory in Sricity.[57][58]

The vehicles will have capacity for up to 1310 passengers, and are to be fitted out with longitudinal seating, closed-circuit television (CCTV), a dedicated FM radio station for safety and onboard entertainment. Power will be provided by the 25 kV AC overhead wires. The trains will use Alstom's Urbalis signalling system for communications-based train control (CBTC) to maintain a 100-second gap between each train. The vehicles will have a golden livery and be decorated with images of notable Lucknow monuments including the Bara Imambara, the Asifi mosque and the Roomi Gate.

Station facilities

WiFi is available at each station with free access for smart card holders. Other services include free purified drinking water and free toilets.[61][62]

The North-South corridor of the Lucknow Metro uses an automated fare collection (AFC) system, provided by Datamatics.[63]

Operation

Phase 1A

Trial runs of phase 1A began in December 2016,[35][36] with the line being inaugurated on 5 September 2017[64] by Uttar Pradesh chief minister, Yogi Adityanath, home minister Rajnath Singh and Uttar Pradesh governor, Ram Naik on 5 September 2017.

Phase 1A extension

CCS International Airport to Transport Nagar and Charbagh Railway Station to Munshi Pulia will be completed by March 2019.

Security

Lucknow Metro's security is based on a hybrid model. The Uttar Pradesh Provincial Armed Constabulary (UP-PAC, or just PAC), which has raised a dedicated squad of 393 personnel for this purpose, provides general security, which includes frisking, scanning, maintaining and having quick response teams (QRT) as per security norms,[65][66][67] while a private security agency provides operational security, which including maintaining hygiene of the station and ensuring that people queue properly.[65][66][67]

Personnel from the PAC were especially trained for providing security by the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) in New Delhi.[68][69]

Apart from this, closed-circuit television cameras (CCTV) and metal detectors are installed at every metro station.[70][71]

Ticketing and recharge
