Half the work complete, aim to launch Phase 4 of Delhi Metro by 2026, says DMRC

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) said on Sunday that it has finished close 50% of construction on the Phase 4 metro line, and is aiming to launch all three priority corridors under it by 2026.

The 65-km project began in 2019, but faced multiple challenges due to the pandemic-induced lockdown and delays in regulatory permissions.

“At present, over 50% progress has already been achieved on all three corridors. On the Majlis Park–Maujpur section, about 80% civil work has been done. Tunnelling work is in progress on various stretches of the Aerocity–Tughlakabad (Golden Line) and Janakpuri West–RK Ashram Marg (Magenta Line) corridors,” a senior DMRC official said.
