The proposed ‘urban passenger ropeway’ link between Vaishali and Mohan Nagar Metro stations will now cost ₹450 crore, instead of ₹487 crore, according to the revised detailed project report (DPR).
Officials of the Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) said that the 5.1km route will link Mohan Nagar station of the Delhi Metro’s Red Line with Vaishali station on the Blue Line. The distance between the two Metro stations will be covered in 20 minutes by ropeway, the officials said.
“With minor revision, the detailed project report of the project is almost final now. The project cost is now ₹450 crore. Once it is approved by the government, we will float a global tender for selecting an agency to execute the project.
