As per reports, the National Highways Authority of India is set to invite global bids for the project by April, and has laid down the target to complete the project within a year of giving out the contract.

The pilot project is expected to cover a 13 km stretch. With an estimated cost of Rs 850 crore, the PRT network may connect Gurgaon-Delhi border to Badshapur Mod on Sohna Road.

A pot can seat up to five people, besides offering an option of hiring the entire pod and riding to the destinaton withpot a stop.

The average speed of the pods is expected to be 60kmph.
