The Aizawl Monorail is a proposed monorail system for the city of Aizawl, the capital of Mizoram in northeast India. The decision for the monorail is being taken because of increase in number of vehicles in town, which causes traffic problems.[1][2][3][4]
There is only one line of length 5 km running from north to the south of Aizawl.
Government of Mizoram has asked, Rail India Technical & Economic Services Limited (RITES), to prepare a technical as well as economic feasibility report of this mono rail system in Aizawl.[6] The monorail project will be executed under Build, Own, Operate and Transfer (BOOT) basis.[7]
The system was proposed in 2011 but as of 2022[update] it is not clear if the project will proceed.
