ABSTRACT Sustainability is very important for the transportation system and for overall development of the city. Therefore, assessment of sustainability is a vital issue. Very few methodologies are available for assessing the sustainability, whereasthe numbers of method areavailable for the attainment of sustainability. If metro system is taken into consideration for sustainability assessment as, it is directly related to the issues of sustainability attainment and related development of a city. Out of few, available approaches the concept of energy analysis and triple bottom line TBL are used in this paper for assessing the sustainability of the metro system.The many advantages of assessment of sustainability had demonstrated and the concept of emergy analysis used to assess the sustainability of many aspects related to regions, product, project, etc. In this emergy analysis the three energy indexes, Emergy Yield Ratio (EmYR), Environmental Loading Ratio (ELR). In addition, a relative ratio of EmYR and ELR called as Emergy Sustainability Index (EmSR) is taken into consideration first stage of Nagpur metro studied as a case. The methodology used in this paper is assumed to be easily replicable is also can be used for optimization of the metro system is in early stages. Keywords—TBL, Emergy analysis, EmYR, ELR, EmSI.

INTRODUCTION The first metro system in the London that was underground, opened in 1863. It is non-electrical it converted intoelectricity in 1890, then many other regions such as America, Asia, North Africa, Middle East have also established their new metro system. In view of increasing population and various developments going on the in various fast-developing cities in India, the means of transportation needs to be improved as a part the metro system is proposed in central India city Nagpur. The first commercial metro services opened in Kolkata 1984 than many cities in the India metro constructed like, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Mumbai etc.More than one million populations in 53 cities of India by Censusof India,in 2011 out of 53 cities were 27 cities were having population more than two million.Whereas in 2011 these counts were as in other countries because of excessive transit volume, low pollution, punctuality other features such as swiftness metro systems is a need as well a priority for the development of an urban transit system. In India (Zhong et. At 2008) currently metro rail system running in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata cities in India and total stretch length is approximately about 215 km. Along with the various advantages metro system has few disadvantages also, enhanced quality requirements enhanced the cost finalization of orientation and establishment the connections with existing traffic networks are few of them. The cost ranging from US$15 million to 03 billion per route km is required for installation of a metro system (Loo and cheng 2010), this expenditure is without any guarantee of financial returns. flyovbjerg et al. (2003) also stated that a rail
