YEIDA unveils ₹7,000-cr new metro links to Jewar airport
To ensure hassle-free travelling connectivity to the upcoming Jewar international airport with the rest of Delhi-NCR, the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority is preparing a detailed project report for the unconventional and multiple modes of metro connectivity linking the airport. The agency is contemplating three modes of metro connectivity -- Metro Lite, Metro Neo and Express Line, each differing from the other in terms of speed, budget, ease of construction methodology, among other parameters. At present, most of the Delhi Metro and the lone line of Aqua Metro follow the conventional mode. Yeida has already roped in the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) to prepare the DPR for the three modes connecting Noida airport to Greater Noida Knowledge Park-II, which is a distance of approximately 35.6 km. The project was approved by the state government, which also directed the authority to prepare a DPR of the three modes of connectivity and now the DMRC will soon start preparing the DPR for all the three models. Arun Vir Singh, CEO of the Yeida, informed that as per the DPR of the metro line, 25 metro stations have been proposed on the 35.6-km route which will require a corpus of ₹7,000 crore. Yeida officials said they are aiming to finish the connectivity project by 2024 when the airport at Jewar is also scheduled to be completed.
