DMRC spokesperson Anuj Dayal affirmed these developments, stating, "The upcoming section forms a vital part of the broader 28.9 km Phase-IV project, aimed at enhancing connectivity and convenience for commuters across Delhi." He further noted the rapid progress across the Janakpuri West to Krishna Park Extension corridor, indicating intensified efforts towards operational readiness and safety compliance.

The Phase-IV expansion marks a significant milestone in Delhi Metro's ongoing efforts to expand its network and cater to the city's growing transport demands.
