The Uttar Pradesh government declined the Ghaziabad development authority’s request for 50% state funding for two proposed Metro extensions in Ghaziabad—the Noida Sector 62 to Sahibabad route and the Vaishali to Mohan Nagar route — stating during an online meeting on Monday that the maximum state funding share in other Metro projects in Uttar Pradesh is 27%, according to GDA officials aware of the matter.
According to the budget estimates in detailed project reports (DPRs) provided to GDA by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) in January 2020, GDA requires ₹1,517 crore for the Noida Sector 62 to Sahibabad route and ₹1,808.22 crore for the Vaishali to Mohan Nagar route.
