| Description | The Government of India requested the assistance of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to support the development of its regional rapid transit system network, particularly in the National Capital Region (NCR). The ensuing project aims to improve the efficiency and adequacy of the transport system in the region by addressing poor rail connectivity and lack of alternative transport modes. The ensuing project is designed to ease traffic congestion and promote socio-economic development to support NCR's growing urban population. The major outputs of the technical assistance are: (i) detailed project reports validated; (ii) detailed scope, design, and arrangements for implementing the ensuing project finalized; (iii) capacity of the executing and implementing agencies to successfully implement the project improved; and (iv) possible support to the NCR transport sector determined. | ||||
| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | The transaction technical assistance will help the government prepare and design the project and develop the capacity of the executing and implementing agencies to implement the ensuing project. The implementing agency has been recently formed to deliver the regional rapid transit corridors. The Delhi-Meerut corridor will be their first project. They are also inexperienced regarding ADB procurement processes. | ||||
