The project was a further extension of project shown at Exhibit 9.1.1. After development of a travel demand model for Karachi, The Government of Japan was interested in sponsoring a mega project worth USD 1.5 billion focusing on a commuter rail system in Karachi called Karachi Circular Railway (KCR) Project. The project was a multifaceted project in which Exponent Engineers were hired by Japanese Counterparts (Nippon Koei Co., Limited) for performing demand forecasting analysis for KCR Project.
