To improve connectivity between Delhi and neighbouring states, the Delhi Metro’s Red Line will be extended to Haryana’s Kundli.
As per India Today, the Union Cabinet approved the 26.463-km Rithala-Kundli corridor as part of the Delhi Metro Phase-IV project. This extension will be the first to directly link Haryana and Uttar Pradesh via Delhi, making the Delhi Metro one of the three largest metro systems globally.
Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced that the project is set to be completed within four years at an estimated cost of Rs 6,230 crore.
The new corridor will have 21 stations and will expand the current Shaheed Sthal (New Bus Adda)-Rithala section. It will enhance connectivity in Delhi’s northwestern areas, including Narela, Bawana, and parts of Rohini.
