achevé

The Nagpur Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC) was set up in 2015 in the form of a joint venture between the government of India and government of Mahārāshtra. The aim is to build two light metro lines in Nagpur, on the east-west and north-south routes. NMRC has since become “Maha Metro” and is responsible for the development of all metro projects in the State of Mahārāshtra.AFD is supporting NMRC and is cofinancing the construction of 38 km of overhead metro lines and 36 overhead stations. The metro will eventually link up and serve economic, commercial, university and residential areas.In addition, the City of Nagpur is benefiting from technical assistance via the MobiliseYourCity program financed by AFD with a European Union fund delegation. It will address issues related to: mobility planning in the city, transport intermodality, the accessibility of metro stations, institutional coordination between stakeholders.The project will focus on the measurement of climate impacts related to urban mobility.
