While work is being carried out at a fast pace on Phase-4 of Delhi Metro, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has started some work regarding Phase-5. Under this, correspondence has started between DMRC and Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, which has raised the hope of increasing the scope of Metro. In such a situation, if this happens, then transportation will become easier not only for Delhi, but also for the people of NCR. After the completion of Phase Four projects, the network of Metro in NCR will reach close to 500 km. Yamuna Bank to Loni Border Corridor was not included in Phase-4, but it is expected that it will be included in Phase-5. Apart from this, Faridabad to Gurugram Metro can also be included in Phase-5. The list of 18 corridors under Phase-5 of Delhi Metro has been divided into two parts. The list has been made in two parts Phase-5 (A) and (B). Phase-5 (A) includes those 3 corridors whose detailed project report (DPR) has been prepared. The corridor has been listed in Phase-5(B).
128 stations and 18 corridors
The length of all the corridors of Phase-5 will be around 206 km, of which around 115 km will be elevated and the rest will be underground. A total of 128 metro stations are proposed in this phase, of which 79 will be elevated and Chaki will be underground. The longest 24 km corridor of this phase will be from Ballabhgarh to Palwal. After this, the 21 km corridor will be from Mayur Vihar Phase-3 to Loni Border.
60 percent work has been completed
After getting approval for three new lines under Phase-4 of Delhi Metro, DMRC is engaged in the construction of 6 new corridors of 112.42 km length. Work on three primary corridors is progressing rapidly and 60 percent of the work along with Janakpuri West to Ramakrishna Ashram Marg, Majlis Park to Maujpur has been completed.
