The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) on Thursday (April 17) announced that approximately 70% of construction work has been completed on the corridors connecting Chhatarpur Mandir, IGNOU, Kishangarh and Vasant Kunj. Additionally, a 4.6-kilometre stretch between Majlis Park and Jagatpur Village is nearing completion.
This segment will include three new metro stations, namely, Burari, Jharoda Majra and Jagatpur Village. Trial runs on this route began in December 2024 and the section will be opened to the public once all required statutory approvals and safety clearances are secured, DMRC said in a statement.
Aerocity-Tughlakabad corridor update
The corporation also shared significant progress on the Aerocity-Tughlakabad corridor, where three major tunnel breakthroughs have been achieved in the past two months.
These developments reflect DMRC’s continued efforts to expand underground metro connectivity and improve construction efficiency.
DMRC to add 112 kilometres of new metro lines
Earlier, on January 5, the Janakpuri West-Krishna Park Extension stretch, the first operational section of Phase 4, was inaugurated for public use. On the same day, the foundation stone was laid for the upcoming Rithala-Kundli corridor, also part of the ongoing Phase 4 expansion.
With around 112 kilometres of new metro lines under development, DMRC aims to enhance public transportation infrastructure in Delhi, making commuting more convenient and accessible for millions of residents.
