Delhi’s infrastructure renaissance accelerates as PM Narendra Modi schedules the inauguration and foundation laying of ₹33,500 crore projects this Sunday, per Chief Minister’s office updates. Metro rail dominates, aiming to knit the city tighter.
With CM Rekha Gupta scrutinizing setups Saturday—and Friday before—the event promises spectacle. Key unveilings: Pink Line’s Majlis Park-Maujpur-Babarpur (12.3 km, eight elevated stations) and Magenta Line’s Deepali Chowk-Majlis Park corridor, fortifying north and northwest links.
Phase 5A advances feature the 9.9-km subterranean Central Vista Corridor (R.K. Ashram Marg to Indraprastha, nine stations), alongside Golden Line extensions—Aerocity to IGI T1 and Tughlakabad-Kalindi Kunj—for superior airport and south Delhi access.
The Pink Line extension fuses with the Shiv Vihar route, swelling to 71.56 km and crowning Delhi with India’s debut fully functional ring metro, optimizing loops and cutting cross-city treks.
Gupta’s X post captures the fervor: ‘Our capital prepares with joy and honor for PM Modi, architect of India’s resurgence.’ Expect ripple effects—fewer cars on roads, booming real estate near stations, and a blueprint for other cities to emulate.
