R Raveendran, secretary of the Residents Awareness Association of Coimbatore, said Coimbatore needs metro train service as it is not only fast-growing but also has a high vehicle population, narrow roads and no planned parking spaces, which add to traffic woes. In his budget speech, the state finance minister said the government decided to implement a metro rail project in Coimbatore city, which is home to a plethora of economic activities like textiles, technology and medical facilities and is one of the fastest-growing tier-II cities in India, keeping in view the future growth potential of the city. But there is no firm in India to manufacture LRT trains, and importing the trains may increase the project cost.

Though a six-car LRT train has a lesser carrying capacity, it can be operated at a frequency and can easily manoeuvre sharp curves compared to the regular metro. Officials said the construction cost of an LRT system is 20 per cent less than the regular metro system as stations will be smaller. We intend to present DPRs of both Coimbatore and Madurai metro to the government of India in June,” a CMRL official said.

“The DPR for Coimbatore metro is undergoing design modifications.
