The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation has given the green signal to the Kirti Nagar-Dwarka and Rithala-Narela sections of Metrolite corridors which has been planned along the central verge sharing road space with vehicular traffic, similar to the scrapped bus rapid transit (BRT) corridor of South Delhi. However, the 19.09 km long Metrolite corridor will not hinder vehicular traffic as DMRC has addressed all such issues. Delhi Metro has completed the feasibility study of the Dwarka Sector 25-Kirti Nagar Metrolite and the project has also been approved by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA). The Metrolite is a smaller metro system with three coaches and a carrying capacity of 300 passengers and costs 30-40 percent less than the Delhi Metro trains. Metrolite corridors are usually effective in areas where large scale metro lines are not required. They will have a simple fare collection system inside the trains. DMRC has also planned for smooth passenger movement for reaching the Metrolite stations and subways which will connect the pavements on the roadside with its stations to the centre. The 19.09 km long Dwarka Sector 25-Kirti Nagar Metrolite corridor will have 21 stations, of which 16 will be at-grade, while five will be elevated. The corridor will pass through densely populated areas such as Mayapuri, Dabri, Bamnoli and Dhul Siras in the national capital.
