July 12, 2023: The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has proposed that the Red Line from Rithala to Narela, be extended up to Kundli in Haryana. Currently operational between Shaheed Sthal (Ghaziabad) and Rithala, the Red Line will become Delhi Metro’s first corridor to directly connect Uttar Pradesh and Haryana.
The 5-km stretch from Narela to Kundli is currently undergoing topographical surveys, traffic surveys and an environment impact assessment. The detailed project report (DPR) for the extension plan will be submitted to Centre and the governments of Delhi and Haryana for approval by the end of this month. If the DMRC’s proposal is approved, the Red Line will become Delhi Metro’s fourth expansion into Haryana after Yellow Line (Gurgaon), Violet Line (Faridabad) and Green Line (Bahadurgarh).
Initially, the extended line will have smaller stations and platforms to accommodate four coach trains to meet the traffic demand. It will eventually be expanded to accommodate eight coach trains. The entire corridor will be 27.319 km long, comprising 22 stations. While 26.339 km will be elevated, 0.89 km will be at grade (surface level). Of the 22 stations, 21 will be elevated and one will be at grade.
The proposed stations on this corridor will be Rithala, Rohini Sector 25, Rohini Sector 26, Rohini Sector 31, Rohini Sector 32, Rohini Sector 36, Barwala, Rohini Sector 35, Rohini Sector 34, Bawana Industrial Area – 1 (Sector 3, 4), Bawana Industrial Area – 1 (Sector 1, 2), Bawana J. J. Colony, Sanoth, New Sanoth, Depot Station, Bhorgarh Village, Anaj Mandi Narela, Narela DDA Sports Complex, Narela, Narela Sector 5, Kundli and Nathupur. Of these stations, the Depot Station will be at-grade.
