Sunday brings cheers for Delhiites as Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurates two metro corridors, operationalizing the country’s pioneering ring metro spanning 71.56 km. He will also kickstart three Phase-V (A) lines worth over Rs 18,300 crore at the DDA Utsav site.
Chief Minister Rekha Gupta outlined the Pink Line’s 12.3 km Majlis Park-Maujpur-Babarpur extension (eight stations) and Magenta’s Deeplai Chowk-Majlis Park arm, weaving a vital loop for efficient circling of the city.
This infrastructure leap addresses urban woes head-on: faster commutes, lighter traffic loads, and cleaner skies. Gupta stressed its role in crafting a truly advanced capital.
The new corridors dazzle with innovation. Central Vista’s 9.913 km underground path from R.K. Ashram to Indraprastha boasts nine stations, including India Gate, War Memorial, and Baroda House, tying in landmarks like Kartavya Bhawan.
Airport-bound? The Golden Line extends 2.263 km underground from Aerocity to Terminal-1 and 3.9 km elevated from Tughlakabad to Kalindi Kunj, with stops at key depots and junctions.
Regional perks abound—Violet Line users from Faridabad/Ballabhgarh access airports effortlessly; Magenta Line from Noida feeds into Golden for south Delhi. This network fosters connectivity across the National Capital Region.
Delhi’s metro milestone signals India’s urban future: smart, green, and commuter-centric.
