| Overview | |

| Locale | Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu |
| Transit type | Metrorail (project on going) |
| Headquarters | Tiruchirappalli |
Tiruchirappalli Metrorail was a proposed monorail system for the city of Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, part of a major expansion of public transport in the city.
As of March 2021[update] the proposal was still only on paper.[1] After a feasibility study, it was replaced by a rail project, the Tiruchirappalli Metro.[2]
Overview[edit | edit source]
As the monorail market is estimated to be ₹72,000 crore (US$10 billion) in India,[3] the then Governor of Tamil Nadu, Banwarilal Brohit announced in Legislative assembly that the Government of Tamil Nadu has decided to do a feasibility study for introducing monorail system in Tiruchi along with Salem Metro, Madurai Metro,[4] and Tirunelveli.
Cost[edit | edit source]
The government has earmarked a sum of about ₹60,000 crore (US$8.4 billion) for metro and monorail projects in Tamil Nadu.[5]
Network[edit | edit source]
A faculty member from SASTRA, using Geographical Information System (GIS) tools, had worked out a proposal for a suburban railway route linking the Srirangam Island with Tiruchirapalli and its suburbs.
The proposal suggested circular operation in the following routes:
- Srirangam → Amma Mandapam → Tiruchirappalli Fort → Palakkarai → Railway Junction → Golden Rock → Tiruchirappalli Town → Srirangam
- Railway Junction → Palakkarai → Fort → Amma Mandapam → Srirangam → Town → Golden Rock → Railway Junction.
The proposal also suggested a new rail link between Chord line and Tiruchirapalli-Karur railway lines, Via. Amma Mandapam and also a possible extension to Kailasapuram (BHEL) and Bikshandarkovil neighbourhoods. There is no decision on extending the line to cover the Central and Chathiram bus stations and the Tiruchirappalli International Airport.[6]
