Very costly mate.
Hindu architecture involves detailed geometrical patterns, lots of sculptures and uneven contour surfaces.
Ya'll Nibbiars see the IM Kadri builidngs, Traditional elements in contemporary buidngsm that's why become one of the legendary Architects of India. Incorporating Persian, Rajashatni and other elements see my tweets to knew more about it's, can always ads Traditional elements to the contemporary designs.

Mate would it be wise to Start metro Projects in cities that are reaching close to 1 million population?
We are already the Country building the most no of new Metro System (although total system will be less than China).
Let us first complete all the current system in construction. We will be second largest Metro Network in the world.
Metro system are one of the costliest urban transport systems and we cannot just go on and on building new lines everywhere.

It's not costly. The increased costs is due to the result of that Haramkor who was unfortunately our first PM. If Congress bastards ever focused on Urban planning then we wouldn't have to build metro lines on elevated tracks. Building all that piers which requires enormous amounts of steel, cement and construction materials is the reason metro lines are expensive. If the roads were mandated to be 6 lanes in both directions 50-60 years ago then we could have simply built and fenced the tracks in the middle and ran our metro trains which wouldn't have taken more than a year to build metro connectivity to every part of the city. Or we could have also simply made every track line run underground.

That looks cool and hunky dory but doesn't hold up in real life. That kind of system is not made for places with massive crowds such as India. Under that kind of system, the traffic would become snarled as pedestrians would get in the way of the traffic and there would be a higher incidence of pedestrian deaths and injuries.

That is why I said it should be fenced off and sky walks provided for people to get to other side of the road. Urban planning was never given a thought by Congress scums. These kind of setup is very common in Europe. In Europe you don't see many flyovers in the city because everything is well planned. At the most you might see one in busy junctions but not something ubiquitous like you see in Indian cities. Better urban planning would have done wonders for Indian economy.

Even planned Indian cities like Navi Mumbai, Noida and Gandhinagar have elevated metro rail systems because for our population density only elevated ones make sense and not the ones you show in your pic.
