In the last 20 days, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated several new metro corridors across the country. The last 23 km north-south corridor of Lucknow Metro, the Dilshad Garden-Ghaziabad Metro route and Noida City Centre-Electronic City route for National Capital Region (NCR).

PM also flagged off the first runs of the Ahmedabad Metro, the Nagpur Metro and also green signalled the building of metro networks in Patna, Kanpur, Agra and also three more corridors for the Delhi Metro.

To discuss this, CNBC-TV18's Manisha Natarajan spoke to the panel of experts.
