Delhi Metro Rithala-Kundli Corridor set to Open Soon

Chief Minister Atishi laid the foundation stone for a new Delhi Metro corridor from Rithala to Kundli on Sunday. Additionally, the extension of the Delhi Metro Magenta Line from Janakpuri West to Krishna Park was also launched.

She mentioned that the Delhi government had contributed Rs 12.60 billion to the RRTS project, which is jointly funded by the Centre and the governments of Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Rajasthan.

Atishi emphasised that the new Rithala-Kundli metro corridor and the RRTS project represented a significant milestone in strengthening inter-state connectivity and easing transport challenges. She also added that the extension of the Magenta Line would improve accessibility in West Delhi, reducing travel time and making commuting more convenient.

The RRTS project, she explained, would connect key regions across the participating states, with priority given to setting up three corridors: the Delhi-Alwar corridor, the Delhi-Panipat corridor, and the Delhi-Meerut corridor.

Together, these projects aim to enhance the public transport network, reduce traffic congestion, and contribute significantly to the economic growth of Delhi and its neighbouring states, Atishi concluded.
