DMRC-YEIDA inks pact for new metro rail link project
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has signed an agreement with the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) to prepare a detailed project report (DPR) for a new metro rail link connecting the Noida and Indira Gandhi International (IGI) airport in Delhi via the New Delhi Railway Station and Greater Noida. The proposed rail link is part of the Uttar Pradesh government's plan to provide last-mile metro connectivity to the Noida International Airport in Jewar. The DMRC team presented plans for the rail line, which will cover a distance of 37 km over 11 stations and is estimated to take one hour to complete. The plan is to provide seamless connectivity between the two airports, which are approximately 75 km apart. The proposed metro route between the Noida International Airport and the IGI Airport can be connected via the New Delhi Railway Station.
