Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Delhi on Sunday will mark the launch of ₹33,500 crore worth of pivotal development initiatives, as revealed by the Chief Minister’s office. This comprehensive package prioritizes metro rail expansions to combat urban sprawl and enhance accessibility.
CM Rekha Gupta’s Saturday inspection of event sites underscores the meticulous planning. Central to the ceremonies are two Delhi Metro corridors: Pink Line’s 12.3-km elevated Majlis Park-Maujpur-Babarpur extension with eight stations, and Magenta Line’s Deepali Chowk-Majlis Park link.
Phase 5A projects steal the show, with the underground Central Vista Corridor (R.K. Ashram Marg-Indraprastha, 9.9 km, nine stations), plus Golden Line stretches from Aerocity to IGI Airport T1 and Tughlakabad to Kalindi Kunj. These will revolutionize commutes to airports, government hubs, and residential zones.
Integrating with the Pink Line’s Majlis Park-Shiv Vihar arm, the new section catapults its length to 71.56 km, birthing Delhi’s status as host to the nation’s first complete ring metro—a engineering marvel for circular travel efficiency.
From her prior Friday review, CM Gupta shared on X: Delhi buzzes with excitement to host PM Modi, the visionary steward of national progress. These developments herald a new era of sustainable transport, job creation, and inclusive growth for the metropolis.
