New Delhi: Fresh targets have been set for Delhi Metro’s Phase IV project, delayed due to the Covid pandemic, and the first section of its Janakpuri West-R K Ashram Marg corridor is set to open by July 2024, DMRC chief Vikas Kumar said.
In an interview to PTI, Kumar also said that besides commissioning of a small 2.5-3 km segment of the Janakpuri West-R K Ashram Marg corridor, the whole Majlis Park-Maujpur corridor is planned to be opened by March 2025.
The managing director of the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) said the construction of the Ph-IV has brought many firsts for the country, and ‘beam technology-enabled TBMs’ are being used in the phase to assess strata layers in advance so that ‘there are no surprises’ during the drilling process.
