The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has announced a new extension of its Golden Line to improve metro connectivity in South and Southeast Delhi. This new corridor is planned to make travel faster, reduce traffic congestion, and better serve the growing number of commuters in these areas.
Golden Line Extension
According to a post shared by DMRC on X, the Golden Line will be extended through an elevated route from Tughlakabad to Kalindi Kunj. The proposed corridor will be 3.9 kilometres long and will operate along areas close to the Yamuna riverfront. DMRC said the extension has been planned considering the increasing travel needs of South Delhi residents. The new route is expected to make daily journeys easier and help reduce the number of vehicles on the roads.
Tughlakabad-Kalindi Kunj
Officials said the entire Tughlakabad-Kalindi Kunj stretch will be elevated, allowing smooth and uninterrupted metro services. This extension is part of DMRC's broader plan to improve public transport and handle rising commuter demand in the southern parts of the capital.
Metro Corridor to Include Stations
The corridor will include four metro stations: Tughlakabad, Sarita Vihar Depot, Madanpur Khadar, and Kalindi Kunj. These stations will provide improved metro access to nearby residential areas, workplaces, and transit points. Many daily commuters who currently depend on buses or private vehicles are expected to benefit from this new metro connection.
Highlight of the Project
One of the important highlights of the project is its connection to the Yamuna riverfront near Kalindi Kunj. This will improve access to surrounding areas and help ease traffic on major roads in the region. Once completed, the Golden Line extension is expected to reduce travel time, cut down road congestion, and encourage the use of eco-friendly public transport. The project will be a valuable addition to the Delhi Metro network, offering greater comfort and convenience to commuters in South and Southeast Delhi.
