Paving the way for Delhi Metro’s much-awaited entry into the satellite town of Faridabad, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) on Wednesday applied for the safety clearance of Badarpur-Faridabad corridor. The application requesting Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety (CMRS) to inspect the corridor from Badarpur to Escorts Mujesar comes three months after trial runs began on the stretch.
DMRC is awaiting the date for inspection of the corridor, said Executive Director of DMRC Anuj Dayal. “The application requesting CMRS to inspect the Faridabad corridor has been submitted by DMRC and we are awaiting a date for inspection of the corridor,” he said.
Metro will make its foray into the satellite town of Faridabad through the fully-elevated 14-km-long stretch, five years after it first entered Haryana at Gurgaon. The corridor is an extension of the existing ITO-Badarpur Violet line (line 6) of the network. The official date of inauguration of this corridor is yet to be announced.
Apart from the Mujesar Terminal station, the upcoming stations on this section are Sarai, NHPC Chowk, Mewala Maharajpur, Sector 28, Badkal Mor, Old Faridabad, Neelam Chowk Ajronda and Bata Chowk.
