The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has submitted the detailed project report (DPR) of a new 11.56km Metro link from Botanical Garden Metro station on Delhi Metro’s Blue Line to Sector 142 station on Noida Metro’s Aqua Line, with aim to provide direct connectivity between Greater Noida and the Delhi Metro by creating a branch to the existing Blue Line, officials in the know of the matter said on Thursday.
Currently, Greater Noida and Noida are connected to the Delhi Metro via Noida Metro’s 29.7km Aqua Line corridor. However, this connectivity to Delhi Metro’s Blue Line, which enters via Mayur Vihar and ends at Sector 62’s Electronic City Metro station, is not a seamless one. The new 11.56km link will make the connectivity seamless and also take Metro closer to the greenfield Noida international airport in Jewar.
