DMRC Targets Phase IV Completion by 2026

Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) persists in its commitment to finalize Phase IV despite setbacks from the COVID-19 pandemic. Aimed for completion by 2026, this crucial expansion project underscores DMRC's resilience in adapting to challenges. Phase IV encompasses the addition of three corridors spanning 61.679 kilometers, enhancing connectivity across the national capital region. Estimated at a cost of ?24,948 crores, these new lines will further integrate Delhi's suburbs with the metro network, alleviating urban transport congestion.

The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated adjustments in project timelines, causing delays that DMRC strives to mitigate through accelerated construction phases. Notably, Phase IV includes the construction of the Aerocity-Tughlakabad corridor, extending over 20.2 kilometers and linking important hubs like Aerocity, Mahipalpur, Vasant Kunj, and Tughlakabad. Additionally, the Janakpuri West-RK Ashram Marg corridor, spanning 28.9 kilometers, aims to improve connectivity from West Delhi to Central Delhi.

DMRC's proactive measures include optimizing construction schedules and deploying enhanced safety protocols to expedite project completion. Phase IV promises to not only bolster Delhi's metro infrastructure but also stimulate economic activities through improved accessibility and reduced commute times for millions of residents. The corporation remains steadfast in its commitment to sustainable urban transportation solutions despite facing unprecedented challenges posed by the pandemic.

With significant sections already under construction, DMRC continues to engage stakeholders and local communities to ensure seamless project execution. Each corridor within Phase IV is designed to cater to diverse commuter needs, integrating modern amenities and eco-friendly practices to align with Delhi's vision for a sustainable future. As construction progresses, DMRC maintains transparency in its project updates, emphasizing adherence to timelines and quality standards crucial for enhancing Delhi's public transport landscape.

In conclusion, DMRC's determination to complete Phase IV by 2026 reflects its strategic vision to alleviate urban transport pressures and foster inclusive growth across Delhi and its neighboring regions. The forthcoming corridors not only expand metro connectivity but also signify a milestone in Delhi's journey towards becoming a more livable and accessible metropolis.
