Delhi Metro avoids acquisition of extra land; to expand Mukundpur Depot to cater to needs of Phase 4 corridors
In order to cater to the additional requirements of two of the upcoming Phase 4 corridors of the Delhi Metro network i.e., Majlis Park to Maujpur and Janakpuri West to R K Ashram Marg, DMRC is augmenting Mukundpur Depot’s capacity. For sections of the Phase 4 project, DMRC has decided not to acquire additional land for new depots. Instead, the existing depots of the Delhi Metro network are being expanded. According to DMRC, in Mukundpur Depot, some of the existing stabling lines will be expanded further as well as some new stabling lines will be added in order to accommodate more metro trains for stabling and maintenance. At present, the Mukundpur depot has 24 stabling lines, out of which 11 lines are being extended and will be utilized for stabling and maintenance of rolling stock of Pink Line, while the rest 13 will cater to the requirements of Magenta Line.
