Narendra Modi launched two new corridors of the Delhi Metro on Sunday. One of these corridors is part of India's first "Ring Metro" line, which connects several parts of the city in a circular route. The Majlis Park-Maujpur Babarpur corridor is about 12.3 km long with eight elevated stations
and is part of the Pink Line, which runs between Majlis Park and Shiv Vihar. With this new stretch, the Pink Line now covers about 71.56 km and has become India's first fully operational Ring Metro.
Total Stations on the Corridor
Stations on this corridor include Majlis Park, Burari, Jharoda Majra, Jagatpur-Wazirabad, Soorghat, Nanaksar-Sonia Vihar, Khajuri Khas, Bhajanpura, Yamuna Vihar, and Maujpur-Babarpur. This route also includes a newly built bridge across the Yamuna River. Moreover, a double-decker viaduct has been constructed, which carries both a metro track and a road flyover on the same structure.
Deepali Chowk to Majlis Park Corridor & Major Stations
The second corridor runs from Deepali Chowk to Majlis Park and is around 9.9 km long. It is an elevated extension of the Magenta Line that runs between Botanical Garden and Krishna Park Extension. After this expansion, the Magenta Line has reached a total length of about 49 km. The stations on this route are Deepali Chowk, Madhuban Chowk, Uttar Pitampura-Prashant Vihar, Haiderpur Village, Haiderpur Badli Mor, Bhalswa, and Majlis Park. Some parts of this corridor are built at a height of around 28.36 metres, making it one of the highest elevated sections in the metro network.
New Delhi Metro Corridors
During the event, Modi also laid the foundation stone for three new metro corridors under Phase-V expansion. These include the Central Vista corridor from Ramakrishna Ashram Marg to Indraprastha and two extensions of the Golden Line. The Central Vista corridor will be a 9.9 km underground line connecting places such as Shivaji Stadium, Central Secretariat, India Gate, and Indraprastha. Another extension will connect Aerocity to Terminal-1 of Indira Gandhi Airport, while the Tughlakabad-Kalindi Kunj corridor will improve travel between Noida, south Delhi, and the airport.
