They’ve carried out so, and we’ve got revised the DPR to make it a profitable mission, the first of its sort in India. As well as, we’ve got finalised the bid doc, which can help in the choice of the firm that may construct this mission,” mentioned Arun Vir Singh, chief government officer of Yeida.

“We’ll start work at the Jewar web site as quickly as the state authorities provides its approval,” Singh mentioned. The state authorities could grant approval inside the subsequent three to 4 months, mentioned officers accustomed to the matter. Yeida employed IPRRC in March 2021 to arrange a DPR for the pod taxi mission.
Based on the remaining DPR, the 12km route connecting the two megaprojects in the Yeida space may have 12 stations. The mission’s draft DPR instructed 17 stations.
Movie Metropolis, Rabupura Village, Sector 34, junction of sectors 28 and 33, Toy Park, junction of sectors 29 and 32 (on 100m large highway), Attire Park, Sector 29, junction of sectors 29 and 32 (on 75m large highway), MSME Park, and Handicraft Park will probably be the 12 stations alongside the route.
Based on officers, the authority hopes to finish the pod taxi mission by 2024, when the first part of the Jewar airport is predicted to be operational.
Based on the officers, every station may have a pod taxi service with a frequency of 20 seconds, and the mission is predicted to see 37,000 passengers per day who will probably be charged ₹8 per kilometre.
