	Is the Delhi Metro a costly mistake?
		Metro projects around the world are "not" constructed on a financial returns basis, he informs, but the economic rate of return (which factors in the public benefit of a project).
		The next Metro line in the city will be 10-15 per cent cheaper than the Rs 175 crore per km that it averaged in Phase I (Rs 110 crore per km overground and Rs 280 crore per km underground) through a conscious policy of "indigenisation" being followed by Delhi Metro.
		For other cities opting for the Metro, the cost is likely to be lower than Delhi simply because land acquisition will be cheaper in aspiring metros and tier II cities.

	The Hindu : New Delhi News : Delhi Metro runs on best quality rails
		The answer, according to the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation, has much to do with the quality of rails and their alignment and that is precisely why only the supposedly "best'' rails used for the Rajdhanis and Shatabdis are used in the depots of Delhi Metro.
		In Delhi Metro, the 90 UTS rails that are used for running the Rajdhanis only find pride of place in the depots.
		Since the imported rails used by Delhi Metro are also used in European countries in temperatures of even minus 20 to minus 30 degrees Celsius, at which levels metals become more brittle, their use in India with much higher temperatures becomes all the more assured.
