Project Brief of Lahore Orange Line Metro Train
Project Brief of Lahore Orange Line Metro Train
1.
Cities are drivers of economy whereas Public Transport is lifeline of urban life
and city development. Mass Transit is neglected in a number of mega cities of
developing countries, resulting in extreme congestion, long commuting times,
choking air pollution and deadly traffic accidents. Prevalence of individual
transport results in huge economic losses.
2.
World over, governments assume the primary responsibility of solving the above
problems through infrastructure development projects and urban mass transit
schemes as these become the primary factors in development of national
economy and maintenance of order in mega cities.
3.
In order to address the ever increasing traffic and resultant congestion in Lahore,
studies conducted in the 1990s by the Government of Punjab, identified the need
for mass transit to meet future public transport demands and recommended
Ferozepur Road as the priority corridor. Despite various attempts, no project
could come on ground. Transport Department, Government of the Punjab
commissioned MVA Asia Ltd to undertake a Feasibility Study of a Rapid Mass
Transit System (RMTS) for Lahore in 2005-06 which covered the development
of a Long Term RMTS network for Lahore and the feasibility of the priority Green
Line, based on identification of potential mass transit corridors, followed by a
broad assessment of patronage and engineering constraints in those corridors.
The order of priority for implementing these lines was then determined based
primarily on forecast passenger demand in the following order of priority: Green Line Ferozepur Road/Mall Road/Ravi Road/Shahdara. (Gajju Matta
To Shahdra; Completed; 27 Km length)
Orange Line Raiwind Road/Multan Road/Macloed Road/ Railway Station/GT
Road (Ali Town to Dera Gujjran ; 27.1 km Length)
Blue Line Township/Gulberg Boulevard/Jail Road
Purple Line Bhatti Gate/Allama Iqbal Road/Airport
4.
The study conducted by MVA Asia Ltd included their recommendations on Green
Line. They also undertook the Feasibility Study of the Orange Line (LRMTS) in
October 2006 which was completed in 2007.
5.
According to Feasibility Study, the Green line Metro Train project was estimated
to cost USD 2.4 Billion. The Asian Development Bank expressed willingness to
finance approximately USD 1 Billion of its cost but no loan agreement was
signed. USD 1 Billion was expected to be raised through private sector financing
which also did not mature and was later found non-feasible. The Government of
Punjab through LTC negotiated and signed an agreement in China for Green
Line project at a cost of USD 1.7 Billion on 22.04.2011. However, the project
could not go through because the Sovereign Guarantee from the Federal
Government was not committed.
6.
The Green line project was finally executed by the Punjab Government in 201213 as Bus Rapid Transit System, with a total cost of USD 300 Million and is
presently serving the public in a big way. Average daily ridership of Green Line
on a working day is over 150, 000 Passengers per day. It is clarified that the ADB
never committed any funding for Orange Line project.
7.
In 2014, the seven years old feasibility study was updated by NESPAK on
directions of Punjab Mass Transit Authority. NESPAK proposed following two
options:
8.
Option-1:
Mall Road in cut & cover section and viaduct in other reaches.
Option-2:
Considering various factors like high cost involved in tunnel boring / its
maintenance cost, cost of land acquisition, number of displaced/affected persons
and impact on heritage buildings etc. Option-1 with 1.72 km underground and
25.4 km elevated track was adopted.

11. To initiate Orange Line Metro Train Project, an open international tender was
floated on 29.01.2014 in Financing + EPC mode. Pre-bid conference was held
on 18.02.2014, which was attended by representatives of 11 foreign and 5 local
companies. On Bid submission date i.e. 21.04.2014 only two Chinese companies
namely CR-NORINCO JV and SINORAIL JV furnished their bids.
12. In the meeting of the President of Pakistan with Chinese Premier held on
19.02.2014 in Beijing, the Chinese Premier decided to fund the Orange Line
project with the condition that Chinese Enterprises will execute the project using
Chinese Equipment. He also declared it as a Chinese gift to Pakistan.
13. The International Tender was cancelled on May 12, 2014. An Inter-Governmental
Framework Agreement was signed on 22.05.2014 providing that Orange line
shall be fully designed, constructed and supervised by Chinese Enterprises
(which is a norm in all bilateral funding agreements). The Framework Agreement

The final price of USD 1,478 Million is around 661 Million dollar less than the
bid price
17. Chinese side agreed to sublet Civil Works of the project to Pakistan side resulting
in significant savings, which is again an unprecedented achievement. Significant
economies / price reductions achieved in E&M Works price. Effective
negotiations yielded project cost savings of approximately USD 660,818,182/with unprecedented support of the Chinese Government and gracious flexibility
shown by CR-NORINCO. Further, transparent tendering process of Civil Works
carried out by LDA yielded additional saving of PKR 5.97 Billion.
18. Cost of Orange Line is quite competitive when compared with similar projects
around the globe. Cost comparison of some of metros in the world on Per Km
basis is as below:
a) Orange line
i) Core project cost USD 1,478 M= USD 54.50 M per Km
ii) Core cost + Contingencies USD 1626 M= USD 59.95 M per Km
b) Mumbai (Completed in 2014) USD 60.7 M per Km (adjusted)
c) Pune (Completion in 2018) USD 62.21 M per Km (adjusted)
d) Jaipur (Completed in 2015) USD 64.3 M per Km (adjusted)
e) Copenhagen (Completed in 2002) USD 69.8 M per Km in 2002 prices
f) Jakarta (Completion in 2017) USD 117.11 M per Km
According to latest research on the subject the per Km cost of Metro Trains
generally range between USD 50 Million and USD 100 Million.

The tables show that there are considerable savings in buses with the OL in
place. The maximum saving is on Multan Road where a reduction of 337 buses
(2-way) can be achieved. Much of the saving can be attributed to the reduction
of long distance through buses a move which also helps to provide relief for
the congested city centre area. Overall, the Orange Line is forecast to reduce the
total fleet of local buses (i.e. excluding long distance) in Lahore by 380 vehicles
(reducing total bus/wagon vehicle requirements in the city to around 3,770
vehicles).

22. Resource Prioritization
Health & Education sectors are on top priority on Governments agenda.
Sometimes, it is falsely reported that these sectors are not in the priority list of
the Government. The spending of funds during the year is governed by various
factors and also reviewed on monthly basis. Different schemes by the
Government are being carried out at different stages. New schemes in other
departments like Health and Education involved various steps which takes time
to materialize and transfer the benefits at grass root level. Sometimes delay
occur in conceiving the scheme, studies conducted for project, delays in
procurement process etc. majority of the projects are continuously funded in
many years. During planning & feasibility not huge funds are required but after
approval & research instantaneous funding is required to kick start a new project.
Keeping in view the efficiency required for a project, re-appropriation is being
