DDA plans multi-modal hub at Narela sub-city

Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has planned to build a multi-modal transit hub at Alipur in the national capital. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) had proposed a 22-km-long corridor connecting Rithala to Narela as part of its Phase-IV project and they are also planning to construct a more affordable Metrolite or MetroNeo corridor on the route. As the Rithala-Narela corridor is expected to provide top class connectivity to Narela sub-city, DDA will be partially funding the project plans to create and facilitate a transit hub that will connect the Metro or Metrolite corridor with other modes of transport like the existing Narela railway station and Narela bus terminal. National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) also plans to have a station in Alipur, which would be part of its proposed Delhi-Panipat Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) corridor. While work is currently in full swing at the Delhi-Meerut RRTS corridor as a large section of the Delhi-Alwar RRTS corridor has also been approved, the Delhi-Panipat corridor is yet to get a final nod.

DDA plans to build a hub where, even though the Delhi Metro and RRTS corridors might not come close to each other at Alipur, an interchange facility should be available in some way, apart from seamless connectivity with the railway station and bus terminal. DDA also plans to integrate these four different modes of transport in such a way that passengers wouldn't need to come out of the hub and can change from one mode to another on foot. DDA will provide ₹1,000 crore in a phased manner for the proposed Rithala-Bawana-Narela corridor of Delhi Metro's Phase-IV project and a provision of ₹400 crore has been made in the present budget.
