Centre Fast-Tracks Rs 111.50 Bn for 3 New Delhi Metro Corridors

12 Jun 2025 CW Team

The Central government has advanced plans for three new metro corridors in Delhi under the PM GatiShakti infrastructure framework, with a total proposed investment of approximately Rs 111.50 billion. The corridors include R K Ashram to Indraprastha, Aerocity to Terminal-1, and Tughlakabad to Kalindi Kunj.

Together spanning over 16 km, these projects have recently been reviewed by the National Planning Group and are expected to be placed before the Cabinet for approval.

Among the proposed routes, the R K Ashram to Indraprastha corridor will be the longest and fully underground, comprising nine stations. These will cover key points such as Indraprastha, Bharat Mandapam, Baroda House, India Gate (C-Hexagon), the new Common Central Secretariat buildings, Central Secretariat, Yuge Yugeen Bharat Museum, Shivaji Stadium, and R K Ashram Marg. This corridor is designed to create a circular link between the Green, Blue, and Janakpuri West–R K Ashram Marg lines, helping to ease congestion at major interchange stations like Rajiv Chowk.

The planned station at India Gate will improve direct access to the monument, reducing dependency on the Central Secretariat station and last-mile transport options. The corridor will also cater to ten major government office buildings being constructed along Kartavya Path, with two metro stations proposed within the area.

Additionally, a 2.3 km underground extension from Aerocity to Terminal-1 is planned, with one station. This extension aims to improve airport connectivity for localities such as Tughlakabad, Khanpur, Mehrauli, and Vasant Kunj, while also benefiting commuters from Faridabad through enhanced access via Tughlakabad.
