The Delhi Metro network is the largest and busiest metro network in India. It comprises nine operational lines with several extension projects underway. Delhi Metro’s Phase 4 was planned to ensure last-mile connectivity to various localities in the National Capital Region (NCR). As Delhi continues to grow, the need for infrastructure and public transportation increases. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has yet not come up with a plan for Delhi Metro Phase 5.
Delhi Metro Phase 4 comprises various upcoming routes, such as the 20.2-km Tughlakabad-Delhi Aerocity corridor, 12.54-km Majlis Park-Maujpur line, 28.92-km Janakpuri West-RK Ashram, 12.58-km Inderlok-Indraprastha section, 21.72-km Rithala-Narela line and 7.96-km Lajpat Nagar-Saket G Block line.
Delhi Metro Phase 5: Status
Delhi Metro Phase 5 is currently on hold. In 2016, Mangu Singh, the former managing director of the DMRC, said that Delhi Metro Phase 4 would likely be the final phase of the Delhi Metro network. In 2019, the MD stated that the DMRC would decide on this during the construction of Phase 4.
Delhi Metro Phase 5: Route map
Metro lines under Delhi Metro Phase 5 are likely to connect areas in Noida, Gurgaon, Faridabad, Ghaziabad and other parts of NCR. The Delhi Metro Phase 5 route map has not yet been proposed. The new metro lines are expected to boost connectivity and meet the growing demand for efficient public transportation.
