A decision to this effect was taken at the state cabinet meeting on Tuesday presided over by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. "The state government has chosen RITES Ltd to prepare a DPR for the proposed metro project," Cabinet Coordination Department Secretary Brajesh Mehrotra told reporters, "A total of Rs 2.53 crore have been allotted for this purpose. Out of this, Rs 2.25 crore will be paid to RITES as consultancy fees and the rest will be paid as service tax." The state government has proposed the metro rail project in a stretch of 40 km in Patna on a public-private partnership mode. The project is estimated to cost Rs 8,000 crore and will take almost 4-5 years to be ready.
