Prime Minister Narendra Modi is poised to redefine Delhi’s skyline and commute landscape this Sunday by launching two pivotal metro corridors, birthing India’s first ring metro. Over Rs 18,300 crore in new projects will also break ground, fortifying the capital’s transport backbone.
Chief Minister Rekha Gupta shared that the 12.3 km Majlis Park-Maujpur-Babarpur Pink Line segment with eight elevated stops, alongside the Magenta Line’s Deeplai Chowk-Majlis Park link, culminates in a 71.56 km ring. The event unfolds at DDA Utsav Sthal-3.
These moves will slash traffic snarls, curb emissions, and simplify travel, propelling Delhi towards ‘Viksit’ status. Gupta noted the Pink Line’s expansion integrates seamlessly with existing Shiv Vihar routes.
Under Phase-V (A), PM Modi will initiate the 9.913 km underground Central Vista Corridor from R.K. Ashram Marg to Indraprastha. Nine stations—RK Ashram, Shivaji Stadium, Yuge-Yugini Bharat, Central Secretariat, Duty Bhawan, India Gate, and more—will connect heritage and governance centers like Bharat Mandapam.
Enhancing air travel, the 2.263 km underground Golden Line from Aerocity to IGI Terminal-1 adds a station, while the 3.9 km elevated Tughlakabad-Kalindi Kunj stretch includes Sarita Vihar and Madanpur Khadar stops.
NCR integration shines: Faridabad commuters reach Tughlakabad via Violet Line for airport dashes; Noida passengers hit Kalindi Kunj from Magenta for south Delhi jaunts. This synergy promises economic ripple effects and sustainable growth.
As foundations are laid, Delhi’s metro dream accelerates, offering a blueprint for congestion-free megacities.
