What changed

From This Week in Rail, newest first.

  • 2026-09-21 — DMRC seeks to take over operation and maintenance of the Kochi Metro Rail network.
  • 2026-08-31 — DMRC floats a tender for ballastless track installation on Patna Metro Line 1
  • 2026-07-20 — DMRC to study a double-decker flyover-cum-metro corridor for Delhi Metro Phase V
  • 2026-07-20 — DMRC floats a ₹18.97 crore electrical tender for the Red Line extension to Kundli
  • 2026-07-13 — Assam announces a feasibility study for a metro along the 121-km Guwahati Ring Road [item corrected] Correction (19 August 2026): this item originally reported an Assam cabinet approval of a four-phase ₹18,000 crore Guwahati Metro. That claim came from a single trade article recycling a January 2017 cabinet decision. The July 2026 record supports only a state-budget announcement of a feasibility study along the Guwahati Ring Road, with DMRC slated to prepare the DPR and the Chief Minister explicitly ruling out an intra-city metro. We corrected this as soon as our verification caught it.
