This development has come as a significant move to improve the connectivity between Noida, Greater Noida, and Delhi.

The extension of the corridor of the Aqua line is expected to span 17.43 kilometres. The total estimated cost of the whole project is expected to be Rs 2,991.60 crore. The interchange station at Sector 61 will play a crucial role in connecting the Aqua Line with DMRC’s Blue Line. The new metro line will reduce travel time for people and lower pollution levels as well. Apart from that, as there will be more commuters opting for the metro, the new line is expected to reduce traffic congestion on the roads.
