Furthermore, the approval of the plan signals the commencement of detailed project planning and execution stages, including route alignment, infrastructure development, and stakeholder consultations. The NMRC is poised to collaborate with relevant authorities and stakeholders to ensure the timely and successful implementation of the metro rail extension project.
