The Union Cabinet has given clearance for the construction of two new Delhi Metro corridors under Phase IV of the project. These corridors are expected to improve the connectivity of the city. The Lajpat Nagar to Saket G-Block corridor will run for 8.385 kilometres, and will have eight stations.
The Inderlok to Indraprastha corridor, covering 12.377 kilometres, will have 10 stations. The total cost of the project is estimated to be Rs 8,399 crore, which will be shared by the federal government, the Delhi government, and international financial institutions.
It is hoped that the construction of these new corridors will improve the interconnectivity of various operational lines of the Delhi Metro network, making it easier for commuters to get around. One of the key features of the Inderlok to Indraprastha line is its enhanced connectivity to the Bahadurgarh area of Haryana, providing direct access to central and eastern Delhi.
This new corridor will benefit commuters from the Bahadurgarh area of Haryana with direct access to central and eastern Delhi, thanks to seamless interchange facilities with other Metro lines, including the Green, Red, Yellow, Airport, Magenta, Violet, Pink, and Blue Lines.
