23 Feb 2024 CW Team

"The signing of the MoU marks a significant milestone in the development of Delhi's metro infrastructure," remarked Chief Minister Kejriwal, stressing its importance in improving the city's public transportation system.

Initially approved in 2019, the signing of the MoU was delayed until now, with officials anticipating its completion in the coming week.

The statement from the Chief Minister's Office reiterated the government's commitment to fast-tracking approval for the remaining three Phase-IV corridors pending with the central government.

In parallel, the construction of the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut RRTS Corridor has seen nearly 3,000 daily commuters via Ghaziabad's Namo Bharat train during the first three months. Disruptions in Bengaluru Metro's purple line services have caused significant crowds at various stations, while DMRC closed gate no. 2 of the Chhattarpur metro station for phase-IV expansion work.

The statement emphasized that construction work on the three priority corridors will intensify, ensuring the removal of obstacles hindering their development.

"Phase-IV represents a significant leap forward in our efforts to modernize Delhi's transportation infrastructure and enhance connectivity for its residents," added Chief Minister Kejriwal.

Delving into the specifics, Delhi Metro's Phase-IV comprises six lines categorized as "under construction" and "under consideration," totaling 128.81 km. Presently, 65.20 km across three lines, classified as priority corridors with 46 stations, are actively under construction. Notably, the proposed Rithala ? Bawana ? Narela corridor might extend to Kundli in Haryana to improve connectivity to the neighboring state, as proposed by DMRC in July 2023.

Additionally, two corridors, Aerocity ? IGDT-1 and Kirti Nagar ? Bamnoli Village (METROLITE), are under consideration.

Delhi's Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal, has greenlit the long-awaited Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) among the Delhi government, the Central government, and the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) for the first three corridors of Phase-IV metro construction, as per an official statement released on Monday.
