The Uttar Pradesh Government on Tuesday approved the construction of an extension line of the Noida-Greater Noida Metro at a cost of Rs 2,682 crore. The 14.95 km extension link will run between Noida Sector 71 and Greater Noida Knowledge Park-V, connecting the twin cities, officials of the Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC) said.
The decision in this regard was taken at a Cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The project is expected to be completed in the next three years. The new rail will connect the densely populated areas of Gaur City and Noida Extension to the Aqua Line and the adjoining Blue Line metro network, which connects Noida with Delhi.
