Another important expansion is going to happen in the Delhi Metro network. The Union Cabinet has approved the Rithala-Narela-Nathupur (Kundli) corridor under the Phase-IV project of Delhi Metro.
This new corridor will further strengthen the connectivity between Delhi and neighboring state Haryana. This decision has been taken under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and under this, this 26.463 km long route will be constructed at a cost of about Rs 6,230 crore.
Better connectivity between Delhi and Haryana
This new corridor will make traveling between Delhi and Haryana even easier. Especially in areas of North-West Delhi like Narela, Bawana and parts of Rohini, passengers will get better metro services. This project will not only improve the transport system of Delhi, but it will also simplify the movement between other major areas of Delhi and Haryana.
The new metro line will extend to the Shaheed Sthal (New Bus Adda) – Rithala (Red Line) corridor, which is already an important part in the Delhi Metro network. This extension will provide better connectivity to the National Capital Region (NCR) as well as Ghaziabad and Kundli in Haryana. This decision of the Union Cabinet will help in reducing traffic pressure in Delhi-NCR and will also prove beneficial for the environment, as it will reduce traffic on the roads and also reduce pollution.
There will be 21 stations on the new corridor
A total of 21 metro stations will be built in this new corridor, which will open the way for more convenient travel for the passengers. The major stations among these stations will be Rithala, Rohini Sector 31, Rohini Sector 32, Rohini Sector 36, Barwala, Bawana Industrial Area, Bawana Sector 1 and 2, Sanoth, New Sanoth, Depot Station, Bhorgarh Village, Anaaj Mandi Narela, Narela DDA Sports Complex, Narela Sector 5, Kundli and Nathpur. All stations will be elevated (above), so that there is no interruption in the speed of traffic and passengers can travel safely and fast.
Fourth expansion of Delhi Metro in Haryana
This will be the fourth expansion of Delhi Metro in Haryana. Earlier, the Delhi Metro network extended to Gurugram, Ballabhgarh and Bahadurgarh. The new Rithala-Narela-Nathupur corridor will be an important step in the expansion of Delhi Metro and will provide better and faster transport facilities to the passengers of the National Capital Region.
Earlier, the construction of 3 primary corridors is underway under the Delhi Metro Phase-IV project, which will have a total distance of 65.202 km and 45 stations. More than 56% of the work on this project has already been completed, and it is expected to be completed by March 2026. Apart from this, two more corridors of 20.762 km have also been approved, which will further expand the Delhi Metro network in the coming time.
Impact on economy and environment
The construction of the new metro line will not only improve travel between Delhi and Haryana, but the project will also boost the local economy. Traveling through the metro will reduce the pressure on road transport, which will not only save time but also reduce pollution. Apart from this, the construction of new metro stations and corridors will also increase local business and employment opportunities.
New connectivity opportunities
The launch of the new metro line will greatly improve the connectivity between North Western Delhi and Haryana. Passengers will get relief from traffic jams, road pollution and waste of time. This project will give a better travel experience to the people of both Delhi and Haryana, and it will also improve the economic and social connectivity between the two states.
The construction of new routes under this project is a major achievement, which will not only make the journey of Delhi Metro easier, but it will also be a positive step from the environmental point of view. This new corridor of Delhi Metro will provide better connectivity and convenience between Delhi and Haryana. Passengers will get the benefit of quick and safe travel, as well as it will strengthen the economic condition of the Delhi-NCR region.
