17 Feb 2026 CW Team

Gupta said strengthening public transport is essential for environmental protection and achieving net?zero emission goals, and the administration indicated the expansion will make the city cleaner and more efficient. The project is intended to reduce traffic congestion and curb pollution while improving access to employment and services. The corridors are expected to facilitate seamless interchanges with the existing metro network.

The longest corridor will run from RK Ashram Marg to Indraprastha, passing through Central Vista and linking key administrative and historic zones in just under ten kilometres with nine proposed stations. It will connect major government offices and the Kartavya Bhavan complexes and is expected to benefit an estimated 60,000 employees and about 0.2 mn daily commuters. Its cost is put at Rs 95,704.0 mn, with the Delhi government contributing Rs 23,372.4 mn. Of the 13 stations across the expansion, ten will be underground and three will be elevated.

The Aerocity to Indira Gandhi Domestic Terminal?1 corridor will extend 2.26 kilometres with one station at an estimated cost of Rs 14,196.4 mn, of which Rs 3,518.6 mn will be borne by the Delhi government. The Tughlakabad to Kalindi Kunj corridor will span 3.9 kilometres with three stations and is estimated to cost Rs 10,248.7 mn with a government contribution of Rs 2,513.6 mn. Authorities said the expansion aims to improve connectivity between the airport, commercial centres and residential areas and to reduce dependence on private vehicles.
