Each station is expected to cost approximately INR 20 crore.
Expected Benefits
Officials stated that the project will provide better connectivity for all passengers traveling from Noida-Greater Noida to Delhi. The metro line will provide excellent multimodal integration. The DPR of the line has currently been approved in the NMRC board meeting. In the coming days, it will be presented for approval in the Noida Authority board meeting, after which it will be sent to the government. The next step will be to send the DPR for approval to the central government. Officials estimate that the process will be completed in the next eight to ten months, with work expected to begin on this route soon.
Station Locations and Future Plans
According to the plan, apart from the Botanical Garden and Sector-44 metro stations, all other six stations will be built on the sector road near the expressway. A foot over bridge will also be constructed to connect the other side of the expressway with the expressway and service road. The six stations to be built near the service road of the expressway will have underpasses in front or nearby so that people living on the other side of the expressway can easily reach the station via vehicles.
