Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to inaugurate two new Delhi Metro corridors and lay the foundation stone for projects exceeding Rs 18,300 crore in the national capital on March 8. The new corridors, including Majlis Park to Maujpur-Babarpur (Pink Line) and Deepali Chowk to Majlis Park (Magenta Line), aim to enhance public transport in Delhi. These initiatives are part of the Delhi Metro Phase-V (A) expansion, with a focus on improving connectivity and reducing pollution.
The total cost of these metro projects is over Rs 18,300 crore, as confirmed by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta. The projects are expected to contribute significantly to the public transport system in Delhi, making daily commuting more convenient for residents. The upcoming inauguration by PM Modi signifies a major step towards developing a more efficient and sustainable transportation network in the capital city.
Chief Minister Gupta highlighted the importance of these Metro projects in the capital’s development, emphasizing their role in shaping a modern and well-connected Delhi. The expansion of the Metro network is anticipated to alleviate traffic congestion, promote eco-friendly travel options, and enhance overall mobility for the city’s inhabitants. The event is scheduled to take place at DDA Utsav Sthal-3, in front of Nirankari Mandal, marking a significant milestone in Delhi’s transportation infrastructure.
PM Modi’s foundation stone laying ceremony for three new corridors under Delhi Metro Phase-V (A) is expected to further streamline travel for Delhi residents. These corridors, namely the Central Vista Corridor, Golden Line extension from Aerocity to Indira Gandhi Airport Terminal-1, and Golden Line extension from Tughlakabad to Kalindi Kunj, will enhance connectivity within the city. The projects are designed to cater to the growing transportation needs of Delhi and its neighboring regions, fostering better accessibility and mobility for commuters.
