Rithala-Narela-Kundli metro: Centre approves construction

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, according to a Raj Niwas release.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 Rs 56 billion is expected to be spent in Delhi and Rs 5.45 billion in Haryana. The current Red line is intended to be extended along this area.

The national government is going to cover over 40 percent of the cost of the Delhi component. The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) would provide the remaining Rs 10 billion, while the Delhi government would provide around 20% of the capital, with 37.5% coming from bilateral and multilateral loans. Eighty percent of the subsidies for the Haryana component will come from the state government, with the remaining twenty percent coming from grants from the national government.

Within four years, this 26.5-kilometre 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.

Additionally, it will solve the long-standing needs of the Rohini sub-city and provide the Narela-Bawana sub-city with a boost in growth and development. The DDA said that the construction of this corridor will significantly benefit the Narela sub-city, where it is developing an education hub with campuses of seven Delhi universities and institutions, a multi-modal logistic park along UER-II, corporate offices/IT-ITeS Parks, and a medical campus including IGTUW and AIIMS.

The National Institute of Homoeopathy, Delhi Technological University, NIT Delhi, Raja Harish Chandra Hospital, Anaaj Mandi, Smriti Van, and other DDA housing developments are already located in the vicinity. It is projected that 1.26 lakh riders would use this corridor daily by 2028 and 3.8 lakh ridership daily by 2055, providing smooth interstate connectivity between Ghaziabad (Uttar Pradesh), Delhi, and Kundli (Haryana). the statement added. The seven Rohini sectors, villages such as Barwala, Sanoth, New Sanoth, and Narela, J J Colony, and two additional stations in the Bawana industrial area, as well as five stations in Narela "Anaaj Mandi, Narela DDA Sports Complex, Narela Village, Depot Station, and Narela Sector-5" will be the main stations on the line.
