Finances approved by Uttar Pradesh Government for the Aqua Line Extension (Connecting Noida-Greater Noida West)

We have been looking into the news of upcoming metro at Greater Noida West. The Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC) had already made the aqua line operational on 25 January. Aqua line corridor connects Noida Sector 51 and Greater Noida that has solved the problem of people travelling to Knowledge Park for educational and job purposes. This line has a total of 21 stations and covering a distance of over 29.7 km. The corridor was completed at a cost of Rs 5,503 crore.

The new metro track that is the extension of Noida- Greater Noida has now got the approved finance on 3rd December 2019 (Tuesday). The Uttar Pradesh Government has approved the cost of Rs 2682 Crore for the extension of Aqua Line metro. The stretch of this line will be now 15 kms long incorporating 9 stations spread over the areas of Gaur City and Noida Extension. As said by the UP Industrial Development Minister Satish Mahana that the whole project completion will almost take a time period of 3 years. 

 DPR (Detailed Project Report) mentioned that this new project will be divided and completed in 2 different phases. The first phase will connect the Sector 71 (Noida )and Sector 2 (Greater Noida), wherein the second phase will make commuting easy from Sector-2 (Noida) to Knowledge park 5 (Greater Noida). The entire metro project will cover and connect the Sector 71 (Noida) to Knowledge Park (Greater Noida).

PHASE 1- Sector 122, Sector 123, Greater Noida Sector 4, Eco Tech, and Greater Noida 2 (5 stations)
PHASE 2- Greater Noida Sector 3, Sector 10, Sector 12 and Knowledge Park V (4 stations)

This extension is expected to have a higher level of footfall as the areas of Noida Extension and Gaur City are densely populated and will further have more populations as there are numerous of residential and commercial development. Some of them like Gaur City, Nirala Estate, Mahagun Mywoods, White Orchid, JM Florence, Ace City are ready to move in already. Ace Divino, CRC Sublimis, Ace Aspire are under full swing construction. Thus, it will lead to huge population in Greater Noida West and ultimately landing crowd at the upcoming metro route. 

At last, the extended Aqua Line will not only benefit the Government but also reduce the stress of people who will be commuting from newly developed location of Greater Noida West to their job locations or to access basic amenities.
