Officials of the Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) said that the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has submitted a tentative 5.83 km plan to connect Noida’s Sector 62 Metro station to Vaishali Metro station in Ghaziabad. This is the third such plan to be submitted by DMRC to extend the metro line to Ghaziabad city.

“The DMRC has submitted to us a tentative plan to connect the Sector 62 Metro station on the Blue Line to Vaishali Metro station in Ghaziabad. According to the new plan, the line passes through Indirapuram to reach Vaishali station. The two previous plans have not been dropped as such. We will now study the new plan to find out whether it is feasible. The land is required for construction and, later, the funding pattern will be decided,” said Manvendra Singh, officiating chief engineer, GDA.

Officials expect that the new plan would cost about Rs 1,300-1,400 crore once a detailed project report is made.

The new plan proposes a 5.83km metro route that will pass through areas near CISF, DPS Indirapuram, Ramlila Ground, Niti Khand, Gyan Khand and Ramprastha before connecting to Vaishali Metro station. Officials said four stations may be developed under the new plan near Vaibhav Khand, DPS, Niti Khand and Gyan Khand.
