DMRC to connect Grey Line with Haryana border by May 2021

Delhi Metro
Delhi Metro's Grey Line which runs between Dwarka and Najafgarh opened to the public in October 2019. However, a small section of the corridor that would extend it to the Haryana border will be completed by May 2021. Grey Line (5.4 km long stretch) was added to the Phase-3 project of Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC). The Dwarka-Najafgarh corridor consists of three stations (Dwarka, Nangli and Najafgarh) and has 2.7 km elevated and 1.5 km underground sections. Due to COVID-19 pandemic, the extension work of Dhansa Bus Stand on the Delhi-Haryana border was put on hold but now the work has been restarted, adhering to the COVID-19 guidelines. Najafgarh to Dhansa Bus Stand section expansion plan is 1.2 km which is entirely underground and has one metro station i.e. Dhansa Station. Also, a 700-metre tunnel will be constructed with the help of a TBM and by using a cut and cover method. The Grey Line is the smallest corridor of the Delhi Metro with only three trains on the line with the total travel time being six minutes and 20 seconds.
