Kolkata Metro Nears Airport Connectivity Launch

19 May 2025 CW Team

Kolkata is set to enhance urban mobility with the expected launch of the Noapara-Airport Metro line by July 2025. This new line will connect the city with Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport, significantly cutting travel time and easing road congestion.

The first phase covers a seven-kilometre stretch from Noapara to the Jai Hind Metro Station at the airport, including key stops like Dum Dum Cantonment and Jessore Road. This line forms part of the larger Yellow Line (Line 4) project, which will eventually extend to Barasat, integrating northern suburbs into the metro network.

Jai Hind Metro Station, about thirteen metres underground, is one of Asia’s largest metro stations, spanning over 14,645 square metres with five platforms. It includes amenities such as escalators, lifts, and travelators, ensuring accessibility for all passengers.

Despite challenges such as height restrictions near the airport and relocating underground utilities, the project has progressed well. Trial runs are complete, and final safety inspections are scheduled.

The line will encourage public transport use over private vehicles, reducing carbon emissions and supporting Kolkata’s goals for sustainable and inclusive urban transit.
