Agenda issues

Role of MAB

1.Should be a brainstorming body for exchange of experience and cannot exercise regulatory functions

2.It must be forum for sharing of experience and development of national strategies

3.The debates in MAB may be recommendatory in nature and not binding (or else it will affect the autonomy of metro corporations)

4.There can be sub committees for specific subjects

Regulatory Clearances

1.Success of DMRC is due to freedom to choose technology and minimal intervention

2.MoR/RDSO roles must be to set standards and safety audit

3.Standards set must be aligned with relevant international standards (UIC, EN, CENELEC, NFPA, etc.). This will enable better competition and more choice in vendors

4.Technology choice, design, FAI/FAT, vendor approvals, etc must be left to owner operators in compliance with standards set.

5. Time limits to be set for processing regulatory approvals to avoid cost escalation

Indigenisation1.Indigenisation is supported subject to compliance with

international standards and safety norms

2.Equipment majors shall be given a target of indigenisation as part of the contract so that they take responsibility for vendor development and standardisation

3.ICF makes metro coaches that are much less expensive (Rs 3.5 cr as against Rs. 8 to 10 cr from imtl mfrs)but not to international standards. MoR to invest in raising standards of ICF metro coaches so that they can act as a competitor

Amendments to Metro Acts

1.Shall have provision for O&M Operators and distinguish them from metro railway administration

2.Fare fixation shall be left to Metro Boards as they have to pay the loans.

3.CMRS : may not be advisable to delegate appointment to appropriate Government OR if it has to be delegated the Act shall specify the qualifications of the CMRS

4.CMRS role shall not be made fuzzy by adding inter alia. The current act clearly specifies CMRS role.

5. State Governments shall have full power in implementation and Land acquisition
