The first real metro was Kolkata metro. It was fully underground and the entire tunnels were built using cut and cover technology. TBMs weren't present in that era.
I think the underground section of phase 1 in Bangalore was probably the most challenging, said by quite a few as the most difficult in the world because of the rocky terrain. The crazy problems we have in India are not limited to people causing problems.... :)

Ya'll Nibbiars Read my post again most of the station expect the few newer one all are glorified Railway stations. And even the newer ine lacks architecture ascetic.
As if the avg Mumbai Metro stations are any better :rofl: :rofl:

Where are the platform screen doors? The avg metro stations look similar in India. They're clean, functional and efficient.

You can compare with Delhi metro when there's a station like this in Mumbai:

The problem is exactly the opposite in Kolkata. The soil is too soft and full of aquifers.

Ya'll Nibbiars do you even knew that's the Metro Line 1 is operated by different operator?. Don't throw the mud every where. And you don't even knew difference between full system standardised verses a few one here.

Ya'll Nibbiars The AC locals Fairs would be slashed by more than half and All AC 15 Train set will be running on all the routes. And eventually The Non Ac would be phased out.

Ya'll Nibbiars Where the Delhi Metro gone wrong the Mumbai Metro got it right. The station need to be like this. The Delhis looks like a glorified Railway stations. They could had hired renowned architect like the Mumbai Metro but they didn't.

Ya'll Nibbiars Most Delhi station still dont have platform train separation doors
These doors are not required at all the stations. Their function is to protect travellers from falling onto the tracks during rush hours. In Delhi Metro these door systems are installed at major stations like Rajiv Chowk, New Delhi etc...

Ya'll Nibbiars Even at small station lives matter, can't trust the Indian Public, the mew may have but the DMRC is unconcerned about installing in the old ones.

Eh? Mumbai Local ki bheed thodi lagti hai udhar. Latest news I got was a guy dying by suicide at the station. They can go easy here.
Ya'll Nibbiars we are talking about local here. If the Indian railway do care about passenger should the DMRC should also do the same what kind of logic is this?.

Ya'll Nibbiars The Slum population is on the deduction in Mumbai.

U know talks are going on that even in 5g spectrum some scams have occurred like govt projected something but earned less
I am not clear actually but people are talking about it in public
Anyway we have to wait for cag report
That's how scam is created out of thin air.

The total earning from 5G auction was 1,50,173 Crore opposed to 1 Lakh crore of 4G spectrum back in 2015. Although officially govt has said that they were expecting 1 Lakh Crore to be the value and it exceeded their expectation. But keeping in mind the 4G auction 7 years back, we could assume that the turnout is less then what govt has envisaged. Now opposition has to just air the theory that there was a scam as govt was planning to raise 2 Lakh Crore but only managed 1.5 Lakh Crore. Now this is simple theory that Govt could manage anything and if they are short of 50Lakh Crore, it means they are lying and there is a scam.

Now why it was probably less then expected?

Government has kept the reserved price of 700MHz band high. They expected to have a massive bid for this sub-GHz band as it would mean better coverage even in rural areas. But apart from Jio, no one actually bid for it. Jio purchased the whole 10MHz frequency airwave in 700MHz bandwidth.
