Authorities of Noida-Greater Noida are planning for major road and
Metro connectivity projects to link the twin cities to Delhi and other
cities of the NCR. PUNITA TIWARY reports

The Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) has planned
for a major road network and Metro connectivity to connect Noida,
Delhi and Ghaziabad. The DMRC (Delhi Metro Rail Corporation) has
approved a 28km-long Noida-Greater Noida Metro line, which is expected
to be completed by 2014. The daily passenger traffic is expected to be
around 65,000.

In addition, a plan to network six major roads has also been
finalized. There is also a plan to connect the Noida-Greater Noida
Metro line to Noida Extension in Phase III. As per plan, Noida-Boraki
track will link to Sector 32 via Sectors 50 and 71; this alignment is
yet to be finalized.

Rama Raman, the chief executive officer of GNIDA, says: "We have
planned to extend the existing Delhi-Noida Metro link to connect to
Delhi and the NCR. For this a detailed project report (DPR) has been
approved. We are now approaching financial institutions for viability
gap funds and tax exemptions. GNIDA has appointed the DMRC as a
consultant to get clearances from the departments concerned."

According to the plan, 19 stations have been proposed along the 28km-
long Noida-Greater Noida Metro link, which will costs around Rs 5,000
crore. Soil testing for the project is expected to begin soon.

To connect the twin cities to all the other NCR cities like Ghaziabad,
Gurgaon and Faridabad, the Noida-Greater Noida authority has made a
proposal for a chain of connectivity, which was put up before the
DMRC. As part of the chain of connectivity plan, the authorities have
proposed two new Metro links which cover all the major areas of Delhi
and the NCR. Under the new Metro Link 1, existing Metro terminal at
Sector 32 (City Centre) will be extended up to Sector 62 and further
connect Ghazipur (Delhi). This new Metro link will cover Ghazipur,
Kalyanpuri, Mayur Vihar Phase1, Sarai Kale Khan, Moolchand, AIIMS, and
Bhikaji Kama Place.

Through the new Metro Link 2, Sector 18 will be extended up to NH-8.
It will cover AIIMS, Okhla, Nehru Place, Malviya Nagar, and Vasant
Kunj. This will further connect to Gurgaon and Faridabad via Central
Secretariat and Badarpur. In addition, this Metro project is to be
implemented in Ghaziabad in three phases. The first link to Vaishali
is already operational. The 2.52km-long Vaishali track is connected to
Anand Vihar, which directly links to Rajiv Chowk via Vikas Marg. This
route (Anand Vihar-Vaishali) will go up to Indirapuram, which connects
to Noida Sector 32 via Sector 62.

The extension of Vaishali-Indirapuram Metro route comes under Phase 2.
For this, DMRC and Ghaziabad Development Authority's survey work has
been completed. The Vaishali-Indirapuram line will further link to
Mehrauli via Noida Crossing 62, CISF, Pratap Vihar, Dundahera and
Shahapur in Phase 2. The length of this line is 16km. The total travel
time to Rajiv Chowk is 35 minutes. In Phase 3, the Metro line will
connect the bus stand of Ghaziabad to ISBT (Kashmiri Gate). The length
of this line will be 12km. It will cost around Rs 1800 crore.

Authorities of Noida-Greater Noida and Ghaziabad entered a new phase
of intense planning and implementation to improve of city-level
infrastructure. In Ghaziabad, 17 flyovers including three clovers
leafs have been planned to be built in the next five years. A MoU has
been signed with the UP State Bridge Corporation Limited (which made
the AIIMS and the Dhaula Kuan flyover in Delhi) for five flyovers,
including a clover leaf at Meerut Road crossing. This will be followed
by a Metro plan, for a whole network and not merely a token presence.
The city will benefit from the six-eight lane expressway linking Delhi
to Meerut, Hapur, and Bulandshahr. These expressways, as well as the
Delhi Metro peripheric (planned on the lines of the Paris peripheric),
will touch the new developments in Ghaziabad. The city is slated to
have multiple projects like a number of shopping malls, multiplexes,
residential and commercial developments.

Like Noida authority and GNIDA, GDA's proposal of an express highway
linking Meerut Crossing to NH-24 will create integrated flyovers at
all level crossings. In addition, the Delhi Metro service, the
Northern Railway project (Integrated Railway-Bus Transport System)
will make commuting easy between Ghaziabad and Delhi.

Under the major roads networking plan, a 130-meter wide and 28km-long
road from Parthala to Jewar, a 105-meter wide and 23km long road from
Pari Chowk to Hapur, a 60-meter wide and 12km long road from Noor
Nagar to LG Chowk and another 60-meter wide and 18km long road from
Saini to Kuri Kheda will be constructed by 2013. All these will be
linked to Noida-Greater Noida Extension, the existing expressway and
the proposed Eastern Peripheral.

Dear Jeevagan ji,

It is true that yesterday(4.8.11) there was news in Hindustan Times
and also in Amar Ujala newspapers that due to the protests by farmers
for their land acquisition in noida extension and also directions by
the Hon;ble High Court of UP and Supreme Court the metro rail for
greater noida has been axed. Now this news is published today in
Times of India. Not understood, what is this ?

Dear Ashokji,

Is authority changing it's statements for Metro Project or such news
are circulating by media only? Any idea..

I am not understanding that how authority can change the statement in
just 24hrs.

It is true that Metro is the hot requirement of greater noida to
improve the connectivity,if it is axed greater noida will go 5-6 yr
back.

I am very much hopeful to see the metro in greater noida by 2013...
