15 May 2024 CW Team

The Noida-Greater Noida Metro corridor construction is set to accelerate following the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. This significant project, previously stalled due to the code of conduct, is poised for rapid progress. The Greater Noida West Metro project will feature a 9.15 km elevated track, encompassing five stations. A remarkable four-storey metro station, the first in India, will be constructed in Gautam Buddha Nagar. The project has a substantial budget allocation of Rs 1,100 crore, with the aim of completion by the end of 2024.

The Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC) is spearheading this initiative to enhance connectivity between Sector 51 in Noida and Greater Noida West. The initial phase will cover sectors such as Sector 122, Sector 123, Sector 4, Sector 12 Ecotech, and Sector 2. This development is expected to significantly improve transportation infrastructure in the region, reducing travel time and easing congestion.

The government's commitment, backed by the allocation of substantial funds, underscores the importance of this project. With GR Infra Project Limited managing the construction, the metro line aims to serve as a vital link, promoting economic growth and development in the area. The completion of this project will not only benefit daily commuters but also boost the real estate market and attract further investments in Noida and Greater Noida.
