Punjab government allocates land for Tricity Metro depot

The Government of Punjab has allocated 50 acres for the construction of a depot for the Chandigarh Tricity Metro project. This strategic land grant is a significant milestone in the development of a modern, efficient public transport solution for the city and its surroundings.

The allotted land will serve as the location for the depot, which is crucial for the maintenance and operation of the metro trains. This development is expected to streamline the metro project, improve connectivity and reduce traffic congestion in Tricity and its adjoining areas. The depot will ensure smooth operation of the metro system, which will go a long way towards the success of the project.

The Chandigarh Tricity Metro project aims to provide efficient, reliable and eco-friendly urban mobility solutions. By improving connectivity and reducing traffic congestion, the metro system will enhance the quality of life in the Tricity. The project includes state-of-the-art metro trains, advanced infrastructure and seamless integration with existing transport networks, making it a cornerstone of the region’s sustainable growth.

Industry leaders welcomed the development. Piyush Kansal, Executive Director of Royale Estate Group, expressed enthusiasm, stating that the metro would enhance regional connectivity, boost real estate investment and promote sustainable living practices. Prateek Mittal, Executive Director of Sushma Group, emphasised the government’s commitment to urban mobility and saw the metro as transformative for daily commutes and the local economy. Mukul Bansal, Managing Director of Motiaz, and Tejpreet Singh, Managing Director of Gillco Group, both emphasised the project’s potential to boost economic activity and improve the quality of life for residents.

Now that the land has been acquired, the Tricity Metro project can move into its next phases and bring the vision of a state-of-the-art public transport system closer to reality.
