Systematic Study of Factors Causing Cost Overrun and Delay in Pune Metro Line Project by using Relative Importance Index RII Method

To sketchily identify the major causes of delays on construction of Pune metro line I project the major causes of delays from this research study were investigated following data collection carried out through a questionnaire survey with a wide range of construction professionals based in Metro Projects. The findings from this research determined the major causes of delays based on an relative importance index, and the main conclusions from output of the data could help the construction sector to better assess not only the major causes of delays on construction of metro projects but also how to minimize and mitigate the risks involved. The construction industry which supplements the second largest job in India after agriculture industry is also generates construction waste which impacts environment in the form of soil contamination, water contamination, and deterioration of landscape. It is well well known fact that most railway construction projects showing the delay in timeline or cost overrun or both of them. This phenomenon may distress the progress of infrastructure in the country as well as may risk many contracting firms profit margin. This study was supported out based on literature review and a semi structured survey that was acquired from competent people from contracting companies, consultants and stakeholders of Pune metro project, and to understand the top factors delaying the time line of railway metro projects analysis has been carried out by RII method. By analysis it has been find out that top three factors responsible for delay are Land Acquisition, Covid 19 pandemic and Shortage of skilled workforce which clearly represent the importance of land acquisition role in infrastructure projects like metro projects and the scarcity of skilled workforce also plays a substantial role in delay of project.
