Noida Metro Aqua Line To Get 11.5 Km Corridor; From Stations To Budget, All About It

Folks of Noida and Greater Noida, we have great news for you. Soon, you will be able to bid adieu to the long journey to reach the Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi. To make this plan a major success, the Aqua Line Metro corridor of the Noida Metro will be extended, making it easier to travel to the airport and different places in the capital city. To know more about this crucial project, read on.

Aqua Line Of Noida Metro Corridor To Get Extended

On Tuesday, the Uttar Pradesh Cabinet approved the Detailed Project Report (DPR) of the proposal for this significant extension. Soon, the Aqua Line Metro corridor will be expanded and elongated by an 11.5 km corridor extension. According to a report by The Economic Times, this metro line will begin from Sector 142 and continue to Noida’s Botanical Garden.

The augmentation of this project will play a major impact in providing ease and more convenient operations. According to a report by The Indian Express, this plan will contribute to directly connecting Terminal 1 of Delhi Airport through the Delhi Metro Magenta Line. Also, there will be direct links to the New Delhi Railway Station by the Blue Line. Once the Aqua Line gets extended and metro operations commence on this route, it will be easier for commuters to travel from Noida, Greater Noida, and Yamuna Expressways.

One of the biggest reasons behind the extension is the need for regular, well-organised, and convenient transportation facilities. Lakhs of daily commuters need these options to reach their destinations faster. The Noida Metro Rail Corporation shared the significance of the project. With the approved proposal of extending the metro corridor, the department will focus on working to meet passengers’ demands and also connecting an array of places.
