India has sought cooperation from Japan in areas like Urban Monorail projects, intelligent transport systems and Regional Rapid Transit Systems (RRTS).
Urban Development Minister Kamal Nath, who is on a two- day visit to Japan, has in his meetings with its Minister of Infrastructure, Land and Transport Takeshi Maeda and Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Yukio Edano acknowledged the contribution of Japan in the development of India's infrastructure.
Nath also sought further co-operation from Japan in areas related to urban transport including Urban Monorail projects, intelligent transport systems and Rail based RRTS, the Ministry said in a statement.
"Explaining the need for safe, reliable, economical, quick, comfortable and effective mass public transit system, monorail projects were discussed as feeders for metro rail in bigger cities as well as stand alone systems in tier II cities," the ministry said in its statement.
Nath also spoke to his Japanese counterparts about high speed rail based RRTS would enable people living in the suburbs of metropolitan cities, say within radius of 100 kms, to commute for work thereby easing the pressure on the infrastructure services within the metropolitan city.
The other issues discussed included the need for closer co-operation and sharing of knowledge in the areas of Transit Oriented Development along Mass Transit Corridors, the Urban Development ministry said.
Capacity building including design of Metro Stations to do multimodal integration and revenue generation and aspects of urban infrastructure such as water supply, waste management and sewage disposal also formed part of discussion, the ministry said.
