Abstract

Delhi, officially known as the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi, was the second-largest metropolis in India and the eighth-largest metropolis in the world. An estimated 16 million people lived in the NCT Delhi while 22 million lived in the greater National Capital Region urban area (which includes the cities of Noida, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurgaon and Faridabad along with other smaller nearby towns). Delhi is jointly administered by the federal Government of India and the local Government of Delhi. In early 2008, Mr. Gupta, Mr. Verma, Mr. Rao, and Mr. Patel faced a challenging task. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), which had built and was operating the acclaimed Delhi metro, had invited offers from interested private companies to part build and operates an express metro line to Delhi's airport. Each of them represented leading infrastructure companies in India and was keen to be part of a prestigious project like this in the nation's capital. Yet, they were not sure how viable a metro line to the airport will be in a city like Delhi.
