Metro Construction Phase III - An overview

Mangu Singh, MD - DMRC

After the successful completion and commissioning of 190 kilometres of Metro lines across the National Capital Region (NCR) spanning two different construction phases, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation has now started the construction work for another 120 kilometres of Metro which will enhance connectivity of the entire NCR tremendously.

Under this phase, many new areas, which, hitherto, were not connected by the Metro will become a part of the network. Delhi's two arterial roads – the Ring Road and Outer Ring Road will get new Metro corridors and the satellite city of Faridabad in Haryana will also get Metro connectivity with the national capital.

The work on the Central Secretariat- Kashmere Gate corridor, a vital extension in Central and Old Delhi, has already been started and the first Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) of the stretch has been inserted for tunneling work between Central Secretariat and Janpath.
