The Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has approved the extension of the Noida Metro's Aqua Line corridor from Noida Sector 51 to Greater Noida Sector 4, covering 8.449 km with five elevated stations.
Upon completion, the extension will increase the active metro rail network across Noida and Greater Noida to 71.878 km.
The project will improve connectivity across key commercial hubs, IT and business centres, educational institutions, healthcare facilities and residential areas. It will also provide interchange connectivity with the Delhi Metro's Blue Line at Noida Sector 61.
The extension is expected to ease traffic congestion, reduce commuting time and carbon emissions, and improve access to employment and business centres.
The project is also expected to support economic activity, attract investment and improve urban mobility across Noida and Greater Noida.
