The cabinet meeting, chaired by chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar, also approved the revised funding pattern for metro projects in the state. Under this, 50 per cent of the funds for DMRC projects in Haryana will be contributed by the Haryana Infrastructure Development Board, 20 per cent by the Haryana Urban Development Authority, 18 per cent by state government and 12 per cent by the Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation, the spokesman said.

The state government also notified a revised Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Policy, which prescribes parameters for creating TOD as a means of densification of corridors along Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS) projects and also as a source of generating revenue for financing the MRTS projects. The fee or charges collected under this policy, will be kept under a separate head in the Infrastructure Development Fund and will be exclusively utilised for implementation of MRTS projects.
