A senior official informed that despite giving lucrative offers, no company has shown positive response. “The estimated cost for phase II is Rs 10,000 crore. It has been proposed that the state government will provide 40% as viability gap funding to the awarded company. The remaining 60% will be borne by the state government and the company,” he said.
Moreover, the state government is willing to handover the operation and maintenance of phase I and B after spending Rs 3,149 crore. A source said, “As per the proposal, the state government will bear Rs 7,000 crore and the company has to pay Rs 3,000 crore. Additional benefit will be given by transferring operation and maintenance of Phase (I), which means fare will be collected by the company.”
“Equal stakes will be provided to the company in Metro projects in the state. While the total investment of the state government will be Rs 10,000 crore, the company will pay Rs 3,000 crore only,” the source added.
