NEW DELHI: As envisaged earlier, there will be no monorail link to the proposed knowledge-based industrial park in South West Delhi if the city government accepts the report of an expert group which gave thumbs down to the project on the grounds of financial viability. The Rail India Transit and Economic Services (RITES), a consultancy firm in the fields of transport and infrastructure, in its feasibility study said that linking the proposed industrial park in Baprola with Dwarka Morh metro station was not financially viable. Delhi government's premier infrastructure development agency DSIIDC had proposed to construct the 4.5-km long monorail link to ensure a seamless transport connectivity to the knowledge park to be built by the agency at a cost of Rs 1,200 crore. The RITES, which was tasked to carry out the feasibility study by DSIIDC, has instead suggested construction of an elevated bus rapid transit (BRT) corridor between Dwarka Morh and Baprola. "The RITES has suggested construction of a BRT corridor instead of a monorail link," said a senior Delhi government official. The government has already started groundwork for setting up the industrial park which will be developed over an area of 77 acres. It is expected to provide direct employment to nearly one lakh people and indirect employment to another two lakh. The park's design has been approved by the government, and the MCD is currently considering the building plans. In developing the IT park, the government is following the model of Nokia SEZ in Chennai where setting up of the Nokia plant led to various vendors such as Salcomp, Aspocomp, Foxconn and Wintek establishing their manufacturing units.
