NEW DELHI: Construction work on Delhi Metro's Faridabad corridor, that
connects the national capital with the satellite city, will begin
tomorrow.
The construction work will start two days after a MoU was signed between the
Delhi Metro and Haryana government on Monday.
The fully-elevated corridor, the longest Metro line in the NCR, will be
constructed at an estimated cost of Rs 2,533 crores by 2016 when the
Delhi Metro's Phase-III is expected to be completed.
The
Badarpur-Faridabad link is an extension of the existing Central
Secretariat-Badarpur corridor and will be integrated with it after
completion.
According to the Detailed Project Report (DPR), the
daily ridership of this 13.875 km Metro corridor is expected to be 2.14
lakhs (in 2014 after commissioning of the corridor for the public).
