Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has been asked by the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) to prepare a report on the estimated traffic for the proposed Delhi-Jewar Airport Metro line, reports Financial Express.
According to the report, the DMRC officials have recently given a detailed presentation on the project at the authorised office. During the presentation, there were discussions on linking the metro network from Knowledge Park 2 till the Jewar Airport instead of connecting it from Pari Chowk.
A feasibility report of the Delhi-Jewar airport metro project was submitted by DMRC to YEIDA in February. In the report, there was a proposal to link a metro line from Greater Noida’s Pari Chowk to Jewar Airport. A total of 25 metro stations have been proposed for the project, which is estimated to be constructed at a cost of Rs 5,000-7,000 crore.
The YEIDA has now directed the DMRC to prepare the project’s traffic viability report and techno-feasibility report that includes projections of traffic from Haryana, Noida and Delhi.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
