The Project Investment Board (PIB) has approved the remaining three corridors of Delhi Metro Phase 4 projects stretching over 40 km. The total value of these lines is evaluated to be Rs.126 billion. These lines cover Lajpat Nagar–Saket G-Block 8.38 km, interlock-Indraprastha 12.37 km and Rithala-Bawana-Narela 22.91 km. The proposals will now be presented before the Union Cabinet for final permission. The Delhi government had given its permission to all the six planned corridors in December 2018. But the Centre had only permitted three priority corridors in February 2019: Maujpur to Majlis Park, Aerocity to Tughlaqabad and Janakpuri West to RK Ashram Marg.Owing to COVID-19, the project is expected to miss its 2025 goal. In Phase 4 of Delhi Metro, three interchange stations will emerge as part of the work on the first corridor work: Peeragarhi (Green Line), Madhuban Chowk (Red Line) and Haiderpur Badli Mor (Yellow Line). Also, the Janakpuri West-RK Ashram Marg corridor will have three more interchange facilities at Majlis Park (Pink Line), RK Ashram Marg (Blue Line) and Azadpur (Yellow Line).With the burgeoning population and the need for better connectivity, it will be a boon to commuters, if the Phase 4 projects are completed on time.
