Delhi Metro Expands to Kundli, Boosting Connectivity and Real Estate Growth in NCR

                New Delhi: Kundli in Haryana will become the sixth NCR city for the Delhi Metro to enter after Noida, Gurgaon, Ghaziabad, Bahadurgarh and Faridabad. The Rithala-Narela-Kundli will 
be an extension of the Red Line (Rithala to Shaheed Sthal).
The Union cabinet approved this metro corridor on Friday, which is set to become the first-ever corridor to connect Haryana and Uttar Pradesh via Delhi.
This new corridor will be an extension of the Red Line, which goes all the way up to Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh, covering important locations in central and east Delhi. The Red Line 
will be the fourth line to enter Haryana after the Yellow Line (Gurgaon), Violet Line (Faridabad) and Green Line (Bahadurgarh).
Apart from Haryana, Delhi Metro's network covers two cities of Uttar Pradesh: Noida and Ghaziabad through two Blue Lines.
With a total length of 26.5 kilometres, the Rithala-Narela-Kundli corridor will have 21 stations. Narela and Rohini sub-cities will also get a major connectivity boost after this corridor 
becomes operational. Many housing projects and educational institutes are being developed in these two sub-cities.
As this corridor goes up to Kundli in Haryana, it will have no interchange station. The main stations on the corridor will include seven sectors of Rohini, Barwala, Sanoth, New Sanoth, 
the Bawana industrial area, Anaaj Mandi, Narela DDA Sports Complex, Narela Village, Depot Station and Narela Sector-5.
In March, the cabinet approved the Lajpat Nagar to Saket G Block and Inderlok to Indraprastha corridors, which are extensions of the Golden and Green lines, respectively, under 
Delhi Metro Rail Corporation's phase IV expansion. "Both corridors are in the pre-tendering stages and work is in progress regarding getting the necessary statutory clearances," said 
a senior DMRC official.
Besides, DMRC is currently constructing 65-km of three priority corridors under phase IV—Janakpuri West to RK Ashram, Majlis Park to Maujpur, and Aerocity to Tughlaqabad. The 
12.3-km corridor from Majlis Park to Maujpur (Pink Line) is expected to be ready by 2025, while the construction of Aerocity to Tughlaqabad (Golden Line) and Janakpuri West to RK 
Ashram (extension of Magenta Line) is likely to be completed by 2026.
However, DMRC plans to open different sections of the priority corridors in a phased manner by 2026. A 2.5-km long section from Janakpuri West to Krishna Park Extension on the 
Janakpuri West-RK Ashram Marg Metro corridor of Phase-IV is expected to open to the public soon.
