GDA Seeks Centre Funding for Noida–Ghaziabad Metro

The Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) is seeking central government funding to revive the stalled Noida–Ghaziabad metro corridor, a crucial transit link in the National Capital Region. The project, initially launched several years ago, aims to enhance connectivity between Noida sectors and key locations in Ghaziabad.

Construction on the corridor has faced delays due to funding shortages. GDA officials are urging the federal government to allocate finances to accelerate remaining civil works, electrification, signalling, and testing. Completion of these tasks would enable full operation and link both cities directly with seamless suburban rail travel.

Once finished, the corridor will pass through densely populated urban zones, covering hospitals, educational institutions, residential complexes, and commercial hubs. It is anticipated to significantly reduce road traffic congestion and shorten travel times by providing fast, reliable metro service for daily commuters.

The request for central support comes amid growing national interest in improving urban transit infrastructure. A properly funded metro extension between Noida and Ghaziabad would complement existing lines and bolster regional mobility goals for the Delhi NCR, benefiting businesses and residents alike.
