Metro corridor to link Capital, Jewar airport

The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (Yeida) on Thursday signed a memorandum of understanding with the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) to prepare a feasibility report of a Metro corridor to provide direct connectivity between Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport and the upcoming Noida International Airport at Jewar, officials aware of the matter said.

This proposed Metro corridor is expected to start in Delhi from the Shivaji Stadium Metro station on the DMRC’s airport express line. It is likely to pass through Greater Noida’s Pari Chowk to reach the airport in Jewar.

Yeida has roped in DMRC to work on this project in two phases, the officials said. The memorandum of understanding was signed at Yeida’s Sector Omega-2 office in the presence of authority’s chief executive officer
