DMRC officials told the media that the board under the Ministry of Finance passed the remaining three lines – Lajpat Nagar-Saket G Block (8.37 km), Inderlok to Indraprastha (12.40 km) and Rithala-Bawana-Narela (22.92 km) of the Metro Phase-4.

The Delhi Government had given its permission to all the six planned corridors in December 2018. But the Centre had only permitted three priority corridors in February 2019. While operating on all three corridors - Maujpur to Majlis Park, Aerocity to Tughlaqabad (20 km), Janakpuri West to RK Ashram Marg (29 km).

The project was likely to be concluded by 2023. Due to Covid-19, the project is expected to miss its 2025 goal. In Phase-4 of Delhi Metro, three interchange stations will emerge as part of the first corridor work – Peeragarhi (Green Line), Madhuban Chowk (Red Line) and Haiderpur Badli Mor (Yellow Line).

Also, the corridor of Janakpuri West-RK Ashram Marg will have three more interchange facilities at Majlis Park (Pink Line), RK Ashram Marg (Blue line) and Azadpur (Yellow Line).
