Dhaka metro construction finally begins tomorrow

[TopCat]

There is no city in the region where it cost $130 million per km for an elevated metro line.

The cost is not only for metro line but station, coaches, power station, ancillary, depot etc.

In other parts of the sub continent they just dig from the side of the road.

Interesting, what's the need of so much earthworks in an elevated metro ?

The cost is not only for metro line but station, coaches, power station, ancillary, depot etc.

Same with the Indian projects I was mentioning.

How about the depot they are making.. the marsh land they are filling.

Same with the Indian projects I was mentioning.

I have no clue about Indian case. But for BD, a detailed feasibility study was done and complete breakdown of the costs are included.
There will be charges from power, wasa, city corporation for realignment of their utility lines.

Kochi metro's total project cost $860 million for a 25 km elevated line. And we made the depot by filling a paddy field.

Bangladesh to build metro railway at cost of $737.5 million

MAY 4, 2017 / 3:02 PM / 3 MONTHS AGO

DHAKA, May 4 (Reuters) - Bangladesh aims to build a metro rail project at a cost of $737.5 million to ease the movement of Dhaka city's 15 million inhabitants, a senior government official said on Thursday.
"We will complete the construction works of the project by the year of 2019 with financial assistance from Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA)," said Mohammad Mofazzel Hossain, the director of Dhaka Mass Rapid Transit Development Project (DMRTDP), a state run entity implementing the project.
Hossain said that for the first project of this nature in the country, DMRTDP had signed deals with Italian-Thai Development Public Company Ltd, a Thai-based company and Chinese company - Sinohydro Corporation Ltd.
Of the total cost, JAICA will provide 75 percent and the rest will be met by the government of Bangladesh.
Hossain said JAICA provided loans with 0.01 percent interest payable within 40 years, including a 10-year grace period.
These two companies will be responsible for building the metro rail tracks, stations, viaducts, and a depot for a 20.1 km mass rapid transit line which would link the northern part of the capital with southern part through 16 stations.
When completed, the rail will carry some 60,000 passengers each hour. (Reporting By Serajul Quadir, editing by David Evans)

Why $737.5 million? It is too high!! Now, the Indians will start sneering at us why it is not $7.0 million for only a small 20 .1 km line because they have built their prehistoric Bombay and Delhi metro lines at lower than this cost.
