Officials said the final decision on the number of stations and the funding pattern will be taken by the government only. They, however, did not divulge information about the proposed locations for the seven metro stations.

One of the spokespersons of the DMRC, which has prepared the report, confirmed that the DPR has been submitted to the YEIDA.

YEIDA officials said some of the proposed stations may include the Botanical Garden, and Akshardham.
