In a major boost to NCR’s metro rail connectivity, the Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC) has given a green signal to a Detailed Project Report (DPR) for expanding its network to Greater Noida’s Knowledge Park V along with an interchange facility on the Delhi Metro’s Blue Line.

As per the DPR for the expansion of the Aqua Line’s Noida Sector-51 station to Knowledge Park V (Greater Noida), the plan proposes 11 stations with a total length of 17.43 km, costing Rs 2991.60 crore.

“The importance of the project is due to the proposed inter-connectivity of the existing operational Aqua Line to the DMRC’s Blue line at Sector-61 station and benefiting the commuters of Noida, Greater Noida West area, and Greater Noida area with faster and direct connectivity towards Noida and Delhi and vice versa,” NMRC Managing Director Lokesh M mentioned.

The DPR for this project was approved by the NMRC Board on Monday (February 5). Now, the DPR will be processed for approval of the government of Uttar Pradesh and the government of India,” the CEO of Noida Authority said.

Notably, the Noida Sector-61 station will serve as an interchange station between the NMRC’s Aqua Line and the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation’s Blue Line, Lokesh added.

Greater Noida West also known as Noida Extension is home to millions of people but lacks government-aided public transport. There has been consistent demand for metro rail connectivity and bus service in the region.

Tracking the footprints of Noida Metro

Noida Metro Rail Corporation Limited (NMRC) is a joint venture company of the Government of India (GoI) and the Government of Uttar Pradesh (GoUP), which was established for planning, building, mass transit and people mover systems of all types & disciplines.

At present, NMRC has opened its corridor covering the length of 29.707km between Noida & Greater Noida, which has been operational since January 26, 2019. The stretch consists of 21 stations out of which 15 are in Noida and 6 in Greater Noida.
