On Wednesday, the ministry gave in-principle approval for Nagpur and Pune Metro projects even though its officials had not studied the detailed project report (DPR) of Nagpur Metro. The next such approval could come for Delhi Metro extension to Ballabhgarh, costing around Rs 2,000 crore.</span><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(63, 63, 63); font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 20px; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(63, 63, 63); font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 20px; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(63, 63, 63); font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 20px; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); display: inline !important; float: none;">Sources said the DPR for Nagpur project reached the UD ministry only on February 3. This is perhaps the only project to get in-principle approval so quickly. The project is likely to cost at least Rs 8,680 crore. Officials told TOI that there is a lengthy procedure to clear any Metro project including those where the Centre does not even provide any assistance.</span><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(63, 63, 63); font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 20px; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(63, 63, 63); font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 20px; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(63, 63, 63); font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 20px; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); display: inline !important; float: none;">Since there was a rush to approve the Nagpur Metro, the ministry had no option but to clear Pune Metro for which the state government had submitted revised DPR in the first week of December 2013.

Once state government includes the changes and sends back the revised DPR, the project details are circulated for inter-ministerial consultation. An official note for public investment is circulated and after approval by the board and the finance ministry, the UD ministry circulates a Cabinet note. Finally, the Cabinet approves the proposal. This process takes about a year.</span><br>
