Ahmedabad Metro receives CMRS clearance
The Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety (CMRS) has provided “authorisation” to Gujarat Metro Rail Corporation (GMRC) to begin commercial operations in the entire 40-kilometer stretch of Phase-1 of Ahmedabad Metro.
“We have received CMRS authorisation today. It means we can begin commercial operations and carry passengers. This will perhaps be the longest stretch of 33-odd kilometers to receive clearance,” a senior GMRC official told The Indian Express.
Currently Ahmedabad Metro operates only on a 6.5 kilometer stretch on the East-West Corridor (Vastral Gam-Apparel Park).
With this clearance, Phase-1 of Ahmedabad Metro is expected to become fully functional during Navratri.
