Madurai Metro, is a proposed rapid transit system for Madurai, Tamil Nadu. It arose from a Madurai Metrolite system, part of a major expansion of public transport in the city and one of the projects devised by the former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu J.Jayalalithaa.
As of March 2023 [update], the DPR preparation contract was awarded to Aarvee Associates. [1] It was ready by July 2023, with construction work planned to commence by end of 2024. [2]
As the monorail market is estimated to be ₹72,000 crore (US$10 billion) in India, the then Governor of Tamil Nadu, Banwarilal Purohit announced in Legislative assembly that the Government of Tamil Nadu had decided to do a feasibility study for introducing monorail system in Madurai [3] [4] [5] [6] along with Salem, Thiruchirappalli, [7] [8] [9] and Tirunelveli.
In 2020, the government has earmarked a sum of about ₹60,000 crore (US$8.4 billion) for metro and monorail projects in Tamil Nadu. [10] At that time SASTRA, using Geographical Information System (GIS) tools, had worked out a proposal for a suburban railway route for Madurai City.
Madurai proposed routes for monorail were:
Transfer Points were: Avaniyapuram, Goripalayam, Madurai Railway station, Periyar Bus stand, Keelavasal, Anna Nagar, Teppakulam, Mattuthavani, Tiruparankundrum [11] [12]
The Government of Tamilnadu proposed for a Metro Rail in Madurai, the third largest city in the state of Tamilnadu. [13] [14] CMRL releases tender notice for preparing the project's feasibility report in March, 2022 and BARSYL bags the tender to prepare feasibility study with the deadline of May, 2022 [15] [16]
