Delhi Metro plans to extend Red Line to Haryana

01 May 2023 CW Team

The Delhi Metro’s proposed expansion of the Red Line from Rithala to Narela may be extended up to Kundli in Haryana. Currently stretching from Shaheed Sthal (Ghaziabad) to Rithala, the Red Line will be Delhi Metro’s first corridor that will connect Haryana and Uttar Pradesh through Delhi.

If approved, this will be Delhi Metro’s fourth expansion into Haryana after Yellow Line (Gurgaon), Violet Line (Faridabad) and Green Line (Bahadurgarh). Initially, the extended line will have smaller stations and platforms to accommodate four coach trains to meet the traffic demand. It will eventually be expanded to accommodate eight coach trains.

The proposed stations on this corridor will be Rithala, Rohini Sector 25, Rohini Sector 26, Rohini Sector 31, Rohini Sector 32, Rohini Sector 36, Barwala, Rohini Sector 35, Rohini Sector 34, Bawana Industrial Area – 1 (Sector 3, 4), Bawana Industrial Area – 1 (Sector 1, 2), Bawana J. J. Colony, Sanoth, New Sanoth, Depot Station, Bhorgarh Village, Anaj Mandi Narela, Narela DDA Sports Complex, Narela, Narela Sector 5, Kundli, and Nathupur.

With the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) launching its housing scheme with more than 3,500 flats located in Narela, the expansion of the Red Line will serve to improve connectivity for the sub-city’s residents.

The five-km stretch from Narela to Kundli is currently undergoing topographical surveys, traffic surveys, and an environment impact assessment. The detailed project report will be submitted to the government for approval soon.
