DMRC to extend platforms at Noida Sector-15, 16 and 18, Golf Course, and Noida City Centre and other stations; Check full list

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) will extend platforms at 32 stations to reduce rush-hour congestion and enhance commuter convenience, an official said.

These metro stations include Noida Sector-15, 16 and 18, Golf Course, and Noida City Centre on Line-3 (Blue Line), as well as Laxmi Nagar, Nirman Vihar and Preet Vihar on Line-4 (Blue Line Extension), the DMRC official said.

The DMRC has issued a tender for the project with an estimated cost of Rs 5.71 crore, to be completed within a year from the start date. Issued on October 24, the tender will remain open until November 17, with technical bids set to open on November 18. An online pre-bid meeting is scheduled for October 31, the official added.


He said platform extension will enable stations to handle longer trains and larger passenger volumes. The move is part of DMRC's continuing efforts to upgrade infrastructure and enhance commuter experience on the busy Dwarka-Noida and Dwarka-Vaishali corridors.

"This step will make boarding and deboarding easier, reduce congestion, and make travel more comfortable for passengers, especially during peak hours," the official said, adding that the improvement work will begin as soon as the tender process is completed.

According to the official, the platform expansion will provide direct and significant benefits to millions of Delhi Metro passengers. With ridership steadily increasing, the expansions are being carrying out keeping future requirements in mind.

Reduced crowding will also lessen jostling on platforms, making travel safer for passengers and reducing the risk of accidents, he added.
