DMRC's Phase-IV worth Rs. 50k-cr on anvil
Under this phase, six lines like Inderlok - Indraprastha, Tughlakabad - Terminal 1, Lajpat Nagar - Saket G-Block, Janakpuri (west) - RK Ashram and Mukundpur-Maujpur have been proposed. These lines are in addition to the 140-km of metro network added in Phase III to de-congest traffic in congested areas of central and south parts of the city.
The sources added that the DMRC originally proposed to build a 20km-long corridor between the existing Aerocity and Tughlakabad metro stations but have now extended it to Terminal 1 station of the airport by crisscrossing via densely populated areas such as Sangam Vihar, Saket, Mehrauli, Vasant Kunj and Mahipalpur of south Delhi. Metro users travelling on the Violet ITO-Faridabad line will have the option to take the Metro for this corridor from Tughlakabad while passengers on the Yellow Gurgaon line can take the Metro from Saket. Currently the airport line is connected only with Gurgaon-Jahangirpuri line at New Delhi railway station. Once this line, which is part of phase IV of DMRC, is completed, passengers will have different options of going to airport. From Aerocity, they can take the airport line to go to Terminal 3. After the mandatory approval, the project will be forwarded to the Union government and after the formal approval the tendering process will start as quickly as possible, he added.
