Phase-III of Delhi Metro might be delayed

While the second phase of the Delhi Metro rail project will be operational before the start of the Commonwealth Games, the work on the third phase might be delayed. The state government is yet to give its nod for the blueprint submitted by the DMRC this year for the phase III. The plan involves construction of a 69.75 km corridor. The cost of developing Phase II was around Rs 20,000 crore, and Phase III over Rs 11,000 crore. Contact: Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. Tel: 011-2341 7910. Fax: 011- 2341 7921.
