FUTURE PLANS OF DELHI METRO

Future plans of Delhi Metro

With the present metro I and II, running on a successful path, plans have been made for Delhi Metro Phase 3 that will take the metro around the entire city. The Government has ambitious plan to extend the service to several parts of the city as there are lots of people who need to commute to various parts of the city. Being a large city, it is a need of the people of Delhi to have good transport system. The new Phase III is a 105 km network and most of the plans are now ready. The plans are to cover Yamuna Vihar-Mukundpur corridor, which will be the longest line in the Delhi Metro network that will cover around 55.9 kms. The major stations on this route will be Mukundpur, Rajouri Garden, Dhaula Kaun, Anand Vihar and culminate at Yamuna Vihar.
Even as the Delhi Metro awaits the requisite nods to begin construction work on the upcoming Phase III project, the Central government has asked the DMRC to start preparing detailed project reports (DPRs) for Phase IV.The DMRC is now evaluating seven corridors for the fourth and final phase of the Delhi Metro, targeted for completion by 2021. The corridors will tentatively include the Yamuna Bank-Loni Border (11.97 km), Janakpuri West-Mukundpur (18.74), Mukundpur-Dilshad Garden (17.54 km), Kirti Nagar-Dwarka Sector 28 (18.17 km), Badarpur-Delhi Aerocity (20.79 km), Lajpat Nagar-Madangir (7.33 km) and Azadpur-RK Ashram (8.30 km) routes.

Facts of Phase II

Delhi metro phase III will also cover outer area like the Bawana and the inner most circle like the Jamia Nagar, which is a very congested area. The metro will start with the extension of the HUDA city center to central secretariat line to the Red Fort. The significant thing about the Phase III metro is that it will have 23 interchangeable stations for seamless connectivity. Apart from this, another addition is the coverage of the Jamia Milia University that will extend from the Nehru place and go up to cover the outer Ring road. It is supposed to be a busy line with the university and school students commuting daily on this route. Kalkaji is the interchange station here and will be beneficial to the commuters who are largely students.

The Delhi Metro Phase III along with I and II phase can cover almost 70 percent of Delhi. And all the three phases are said to target around three million people and with a daily revenue of Rs. 5 crore.
