Union cabinet approves 2 more Delhi Metro corridors

Delhi Metro Latest Update: The Union Cabinet on Wednesday gave its approval for the development of two new Delhi Metro corridors. The corridors will span from Lajpat Nagar to G Block in Saket and from Inderlok to Indraprastha, covering a total distance of approximately 20 km. This significant decision is expected to have a positive impact on the daily commute of around 2.5 lakh passengers.  The ambitious metro project is estimated to cost a whopping Rs 8,600 crore.

The Lajpat Nagar-Saket G Block corridor will cover a distance of 8 km and have eight stations, while the Inderlok-Indraprastha line will span 12 km and have 10 stations. These new lines will provide direct connectivity and reduce travel time for passengers, eliminating the need for long detours. They will also connect busy commercial areas, addressing the increasing congestion in the city.

Eight new interchange stations will come up on these corridors at Inderlok, Nabi Karim, New Delhi, Delhi Gate, Indraprastha, Lajpat Nagar, Chirag Dilli and Saket G Block.
