Delhi Metro Phase 4 is all set to transform public transport in the National Capital Region (NCR) with the addition of 44 new metro stations across six major corridors. The expansion will significantly boost connectivity, reduce road congestion, and accommodate the growing population in Delhi and its neighbouring areas.

DMRC＊s Plan for Delhi Metro Phase 4

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has laid out an extensive plan for Phase 4, covering a total distance of 112.32 km. The project consists of multiple corridors featuring both elevated and underground sections. The priority corridors are expected to be operational by March 2026, while full completion might extend up to 2028 due to logistical factors.

Project Cost and Investment

The Delhi Metro Phase 4 project cost is estimated to be around Rs 24,948.65 crore. Since its approval in March 2019, the DMRC has been executing construction in phases. The project is being funded through a mix of government support, international loans, and private-sector investments.

Connectivity Benefits of Delhi Metro Phase 4

The expansion is expected to improve last-mile connectivity, particularly in rapidly developing residential zones. By linking these areas to the existing Delhi Metro network, the new metro stations will ensure smoother travel experiences and reduce dependency on private vehicles.

Impact on Traffic and Environment

With 44 new metro stations, Delhi Metro Phase 4 will play a crucial role in tackling traffic congestion by encouraging more commuters to switch to the metro. Additionally, the new metro lines will contribute to lower air pollution levels, supporting Delhi＊s ongoing efforts to improve air quality.
