Cabinet approves Noida Metro Aqua Line extension with five new stations

The Central Cabinet has approved a significant extension to the Noida Metro's Aqua Line project, marking a major step forward in improving connectivity between Noida and Greater Noida. The new elevated metro corridor will span 8.5 kilometers, linking Sector-51 in Noida to Sector-4 in Greater Noida.

The expansion project includes the construction of five new metro stations along the route, aimed at enhancing public transportation access across the region. The elevated corridor design will allow the metro system to traverse the area while minimizing land acquisition requirements and construction complexities.

This development is expected to significantly improve commuter connectivity and reduce traffic congestion between the two cities. The Aqua Line extension forms part of broader infrastructure development efforts in the National Capital Region, with the project set to benefit thousands of daily commuters in the densely populated Noida and Greater Noida areas.

The approval paves the way for detailed project planning and construction tender processes. Officials indicated that the project would follow the standard implementation timelines for metro infrastructure development in the region.
