Delhi Metro: PM Modi inaugurates new routes from Majlis Park & three new corridors worth ₹18,300 crore

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday inaugurated multiple Delhi Metro projects worth Rs 18,300 crore, comprising of two new corridors, the Majlis Park-Maujpur Babarpur (Pink Line) corridor and the Deepali Chowk-Majlis Park (Magenta Line) corridor. He also laid the foundation stone for three new corridors under Phase V-A of the Delhi Metro, including the Aerocity to Indira Gandhi Airport Terminal-1 route.

The new corridors include R.K. Ashram Marg to Indraprastha and Tughlakabad to Kalindi Kunj, built to provide direct connectivity to several important locations in the national capital and improve connectivity for residents travelling between Noida, South Delhi and the airport.



"The new Metro section inaugurated today will provide great convenience to lakhs of people in the national capital. Commuting will become much easier, especially for people living in East and North East Delhi. Connectivity between different parts of Delhi and NCR cities such as Ghaziabad, Noida, Faridabad and Gurugram will also improve," PM Modi said.

PM Modi also unveiled multiple projects worth Rs 15,200 crore under the General Pool Residential Accommodation (GPRA) Redevelopment Plan. These residential projects are spread across key locations such as Sarojini Nagar, Netaji Nagar, Kasturba Nagar and Sriniwaspuri and form a part of the government’s programme to modernise GPRA colonies and create world-class infrastructure for govt employees and administrative offices.

"From the expansion of the Metro to housing facilities for thousands of government employees, infrastructure in the national capital is being continuously strengthened," the prime minister said. "The development of Delhi is not just the development of one city; it is linked to the image of the entire country." He asserted that the government is committed to building a modern, developed Delhi.

The GPRA redevelopment plan will provide more than 9,350 modern flats for government employees, along with the creation of approximately 48 lakh square feet of office space. The prime minister noted that the newly launched projects will strengthen infrastructure, improve connectivity and enhance ease of living for people of Delhi.

Addressing a public meeting in Delhi, he said, "Be it politics, administration, science, sports or social service, India’s ‘Nari Shakti’ is moving ahead with new energy in every field."

"On Women’s Day, I extend my heartfelt greetings to the women of the country and acknowledge their immense contribution to nation-building. I wish them continued success so that they keep strengthening society and the nation," he added.

Congratulating citizens on the flow of development, Modi said, "A year ago, with hope and renewed resolve, the people here formed a BJP ‘double-engine’ government. The results of that are now visible in the development works taking place here."

The government has launched a campaign to provide PM SVANidhi credit cards to our fellow street vendors, he said, under which they will have a credit card, which they can use according to their needs.

He said that the NDA government is working on a mission mode to address Delhi's various challenges. "With the construction of the peripheral expressway, millions of vehicles no longer need to enter Delhi."

The BJP government is also working on a large scale to clean the Yamuna River, Modi said, adding that projects worth crores of rupees have been initiated for this purpose.
