Metro Neo Project in Nashik
Metro Neo is an innovative transport solution set to debut in Nashik, Maharashtra, under Maha Metro's guidance, marking India's first implementation of a rubber-tyred Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS). With a detailed project report (DPR) awaiting final clearance from the Union Cabinet, Metro Neo promises a seamless, fast, and reliable travel experience that meets international standards in metro systems.
The Metro Neo system employs articulated and bi-articulated trolley buses powered by overhead electric traction. These air-conditioned coaches offer advanced features including automatic doors, level boarding, comfortable seating, and real-time passenger announcements and information displays. Designed to minimize environmental impact, Metro Neo operates quietly and efficiently, providing a sustainable and energy-conscious transport solution.
Engineered for versatile urban conditions, Metro Neo can navigate sharp curves and steep gradients with minimal infrastructure adjustments. The system is future-ready, allowing for cost-effective upgrades to Light Metro standards if traffic demand increases.
In a landmark step toward standardizing urban transit, the Government of India established a committee in 2019 under chairmanship of MD, Maha-Metro to develop detailed specifications for rubber-tyred MRTS, enabling the potential rollout of similar systems across India. With overhead 600-750 V DC power, Metro Neo's electric coaches can comfortably accommodate 180-240 passengers, ensuring Nashik residents have access to a world-class public transport experience.
Metro Neo Project for Warangal
Kakatiya Urban Development Authority (KUDA) had asked Maha Metro to prepare the DPR of Warangal Metro. Maha Metro recommended the use of Metro Neo technology and prepared the DPR accordingly. It saved Rs 2,000 crore of KUDA and made Warangal Metro feasible. KUDA has submitted the report to Telangana Government, which will forward it to the Central Government after vetting it.
