700 km of New Metro Lines Operational in a Decade: A Boost to Urban Connectivity

                In the past decade, India's urban infrastructure has seen a transformative shift with the successful operation of approximately 700 kilometers of new metro lines across various cities. This 
development, as announced by the Housing Minister, reflects the government's commitment to enhancing urban mobility and creating efficient public transportation networks. The 
expansion of metro services has significantly eased daily commuting for millions of residents, providing them with a faster, more reliable, and eco-friendly mode of transport.

The introduction of these new metro lines has also played a crucial role in reducing traffic congestion in major urban centers, contributing to lower pollution levels and a cleaner 
environment. By offering an alternative to road transport, metros have helped in managing the burgeoning urban population’s demand for sustainable transit solutions.

Looking ahead, the government remains dedicated to further extending the metro network, with plans to cover more cities and expand existing lines. This initiative is a key part of the 
broader urban development strategy aimed at improving the quality of life for city dwellers and supporting economic growth through better connectivity.
