Issues and Challenges

Capital Requirement
Metro projects are capital intensive with low financial
returns.
They require multiple funding sources and have a complex
financial arrangement

Limited private investment

For Metro projects undertaken on PPP basis, securing
funds is a challenge
Predominantly government funded.

Time and cost overruns

Land acquisition can cause delays.
Cost escalation due to delays are a major concern.
