Plans for Delhi Metro's red line extension were approved

A Raj Niwas statement stated that the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs-DDA proposal for the building of the Rithala-Narela-Kundli metro route has been approved by the Centre. It stated that Delhi Lieutenant Governor V. K. Saxena has discussed the building of this metro route with the Centre on several occasions. According to the announcement, the construction of the Rithala-Narela-Kundli metro line would cost Rs 62 billion, of which the Delhi component is expected to cost Rs 56 billion crore and the Haryana portion Rs 5 billion. The current red line is intended to be extended along this area.

The national government is going to cover over forty % of the cost of the Delhi component. The remaining expenses will be covered by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA), which will contribute Rs 1,000 crore. According to the statement, 37.5% of the capital will come from bilateral and multilateral loans, while the Delhi government will provide around 20%. Eighty % of the subsidies for the Haryana component will come from the state government, with the remaining twenty % coming from grants from the national government.

Within four years, this 26.5-km route with 21 stops will be finished. According to the statement, it will significantly increase the areas of Narela, Bawana, and Alipur's connectivity with the rest of the city and spark an infrastructural boom.
