SCR General Manager Arun Kumar Jain on Friday reiterated that the 100-km MMTS Phase Two project connecting the suburbs with the central city regions will be completed in all aspects by January next year.
The doubling and electrification works are being completed between the Secunderabad and Moula Ali sections. Once this line is completed in all aspects, it will be possible to reduce the load on Secunderabad railway station through the bypass and also will help in running more local trains, he told a press conference at Rail Nilayam.
But, Mr. Jain said the SCR has not made any plan to acquire any new rakes (train sets) for running the extended operations once the new lines also come into play. “We have not yet thought about it. We will make use of the existing trains as the passenger ridership is anyway just 50%,” he said.
