The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has in its ‘inception report’ suggested seven stations on a new Metro corridor that will connect Pari Chowk at Greater Noida with the Noida International Airport at Jewar. The DMRC has suggested ‘fewer’ stations so that the travel time can be reduced between the two destinations, said officials.
The DMRC has also suggested that the airport at Jewar be connected with Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International airport via New Delhi Metro station instead of Delhi’s Shivaji Stadium, said officials.
On September 3 this year, the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (Yeida) signed a memorandum of understanding with the DMRC, asking the latter to prepare a feasibility report of a Metro corridor that will provide direct connectivity between Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport and the upcoming Noida International Airport at Jewar, and another corridor connecting Greater Noida to Jewar, said officials aware of the matter.
