A PMRDA official stated that the company has mentioned that it can only work for five hours at night due to daytime restrictions. He added that the metro work schedule is set and must be followed. Although the project is behind schedule, the company assured officials it would catch up on lost time.

The ongoing delays have raised concerns about meeting the project’s completion deadline. Stakeholders are hopeful that with new measures in place, progress will improve in the coming months. Further updates on the project’s status are anticipated as the situation develops.

The 23.3 km long metro line 3 will have 23 elevated stations and is being developed by the PMRDA on a public-private partnership (PPP) basis. The total cost of metro line 3 is ₹8,313 crore, and it has been proposed by Tata-Siemens on a PPP basis.
