A Review on Identification of Factors Causing Delay in Metro Rail Project

One of the main problems the construction sector is dealing with is construction delays. From a few days to years, delay issues can have different effects on a project depending on their features. In building projects, they have a major financial, environmental, and social impact.India's fast urbanization necessitates the development of urban metro rail projects and other transportation options. Nevertheless, a number of metro projects that are being built in Indian cities are beset by a number of problems that impair project cost, schedule, and construction quality. In a similar vein, the top three most important causes of cost overruns are: changes in government policies, laws, or the project's timeline, which results in increased costs; and force majeure.Mitigating these risks through proper life cycle contract management and risk allocation would facilitate timely completion of the metro projects with justified value for money to the government.

Abstract

One of the main problems the construction sector is dealing with is construction delays. From a few days to years, delay issues can have different effects on a project depending on their features. In building projects, they have a major financial, environmental, and social impact.India's fast urbanization necessitates the development of urban metro rail projects and other transportation options. Nevertheless, a number of metro projects that are being built in Indian cities are beset by a number of problems that impair project cost, schedule, and construction quality. In a similar vein, the top three most important causes of cost overruns are: changes in government policies, laws, or the project's timeline, which results in increased costs; and force majeure.Mitigating these risks through proper life cycle contract management and risk allocation would facilitate timely completion of the metro projects with justified value for money to the government.
