The Union Cabinet, on Wednesday, December 24, approved Delhi Metro Phase V(A), adding 16 Km. The project will be developed at an estimated cost of 12,015 INR-Crore. The Delhi Metro Phase V(A) expansion is expected to improve connectivity and ease congestion across central, south, west, and north Delhi.
The approved corridors include R K Ashram Marg–Indraprastha, Aerocity–IGD Airport Terminal‑1, and Tughlakabad–Kalindi Kunj. The R K Ashram Marg–Indraprastha corridor will extend the Botanical Garden–R K Ashram Marg line and provide metro access to the Central Vista area, which is currently under redevelopment. The Aerocity–IGD Airport Terminal‑1 and Tughlakabad–Kalindi Kunj stretches will form extensions of the Aerocity–Tughlakabad corridor. These will connect south Delhi areas such as Saket, Chhatarpur, and Kalindi Kunj with the domestic airport terminal.
