The metro stations of Jaipur will be lighted up under green energy project. This will reduce the cost of electricity spent at the stations. For this, eight stations out of nine would be establishing solar plants on their premises. There are nine stations between Mansarovar and Chandpole on a track length of 9.2 km. Only Chandpole station is underground out of the nine stations. Therefore, Solar panels will be set up on other eight stations. The proposal for the same has been sent to concerned authorities.

Jaipur Metro Performance is better compare to Delhi Bangalore and other Metro

Jaipur Metro’s opening is better than Delhi and Bangalore

The second Phase delayed while showing loss in Metro but statistics say a different story.

There are many questions regarding Jaipur Metro. The biggest question being if the metro is in such a big loss then who and why would anyone start the second phase of Metro. It was found in research conducted by Dainik Bhaskar that out of 110 metros in the whole world only five are in profit. Even if we compare the first phase of Delhi-Bangalore- Chennai then also Jaipur Metro seems in a more profitable condition than they do. 

Some statistics regarding Jaipur Metro are quoted underneath –

It started with 52400 passengers per day, whereas now there are 30000 passengers per day. The cost of functioning a metro is 8.5 lakh per day and the income is at 3.20 lakh rupees. That is why no private company is getting ready to invest in the second phase of the metro. The second phase is already a year late and there are no signs of it starting further soon. 

However, the facts are striking. If the earlier months are to be compared then the number of passengers commuting daily in Delhi and Jaipur amount to same even when Delhi is more than twice in population.

Jaipur Metro Performance

It would take 10 years to be profitable – 

According to Jaipur Metro Rail Corporation, the profitable condition of Metro will take 10 years to achieve. The CMD of Jaipur Metro, Mr. N.C Goyal also agrees with this prediction. According to him, this amount of time is required for nay metro to break even and earn profits. Jaipur Metro can come to a fully profitable condition in 10 years after the increase in phase.

In a first, mothers can feed babies at Metro stations

In a bid to provide relief to lactating mothers who have to face a harrowing time while breastfeeding neonates in public places, the Jaipur Metro Rail Corporation (JMRC), in a first-of-its-kind facility, has developed two rooms for breastfeeding so that mothers can attend to their infants at ease. These rooms, named as Amrit Kalash, have been developed at Mansarovar and Chandpole stations, which are starting points of the Metro corridor from either ends.

JMRC chief managing director N C Goel said, "Apart from international airport in Jaipur, this facility is not provided at any public place including the railway stations and bus stands. This initiative will encourage more people to travel by Metro." He further said that at Mansarovar station, this room is situated close to the consumer care centre (CCC), near gate number 1. Similarly, at Chandpole station, Amrit Kalash is close to CCC, near gate number 1 and 2.

"These rooms remain locked. Any commuter can ask for the keys from the CCC and return after breastfeeding child," the official added. In these rooms, the JMRC has put chairs and beds for the mothers. Posters giving information about the vaccination of children have also been pasted in the rooms. "The rooms have been painted in rainbow colours to give a lively feeling. The JMRC has also installed intercom service which would connect the speaker directly to the station master and CCC workers," he added.
