The Pune municipal corporation (PMC) and Maharashtra metro rail corporation (Maha-Metro) has decided to change the alignment of the metro project on the Ahmednagar road to protect the Aga Khan Palace as per National Monument's Authority (NMA). So now the project cost would increase by ₹50 crore for civil work and the length of the corridor would be increased by 900 meters.
Metro officials Atul Gadgil and Prakash Waghmare briefed the media persons regarding the decision on Friday. "There are changes in the metro corridor near Aga Khan Palace and the route length would now increase by 900 metres," confirmed metro officials. The PMC is yet to give final approval for the planned route.
The metro project would cost around 50 crore to be constructed.

Statement Evaluation: Metro Project Cost Near Aga Khan Palace
The question asks to evaluate a statement about the metro project's construction cost based on a given passage.
Passage Analysis
- The passage states that the metro project alignment near the Aga Khan Palace is being changed to protect the monument as per National Monument's Authority (NMA) guidelines.
- This alignment change results in an increase of costs by ₹50 crore specifically for civil work.
- The length of the corridor will also increase by 900 meters.
Statement Assessment
- The statement claims: "The metro project would cost around 50 crore to be constructed."
- The passage clearly mentions that the cost would increase by ₹50 crore for civil work. It does not state the total construction cost of the entire metro project.
- The ₹50 crore figure is an additional cost for a specific component (civil work), not the overall project budget. The total project cost could be much higher.
Conclusion
Since the passage only provides information about an increase in cost for civil work and not the total construction cost of the metro project, we cannot definitively determine if the statement is true or false based solely on the given text.
Therefore, the statement cannot be determined from the provided passage.
