Delhi Metro's phase-III to develop 3 km by 2014

Delhi Metro is developing a link between Central Secretariat and Mandi House by 2014, primarily to decongest the over-crowded Rajiv Chowk station. Part of its ambitious Phase-III, the 3.2 km underground stretch with two stations Janpath and Mandi House is likely to be inaugurated at least a year before other lines of the project are opened in 2015. While the civil work will cost Rs 450 crore, total cost of the entire 3.2 km corridor is Rs 800 crore. Contact: DMRC. Tel: 23417910/12. Fax: 23417921 Website: www.delhimetrorail.com
