The Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Wednesday approved the extension of the Aqua Line Metro Rail Corridor from Noida Sector 51 to Greater Noida Sector 4, covering 8.449 km and comprising five elevated stations.
With the extension becoming operational, Noida and Greater Noida will have a combined active Metro rail network of 71.878 km.
According to an official statement, the project is expected to improve public transport connectivity between the two cities and provide access to high-demand corridors. It will also offer an interchange with the Delhi Metro’s Blue Line at Noida Sector 61.
The extended corridor will connect key areas of Noida, including commercial centres, multinational companies, IT hubs, educational institutions, healthcare facilities and major residential societies.
The Cabinet said the project is expected to ease traffic congestion, reduce travel time and improve road safety by shifting commuters towards public transport. Better connectivity with workplaces and transport hubs, including Delhi airport, railway stations and bus depots, is also expected to improve commuting efficiency.
The expansion is expected to provide more equitable access to public transport across different socio-economic groups, reduce travel disparities and improve access to essential services.
The Cabinet described the extension as a significant development for Noida and Greater Noida, citing its expected benefits in connectivity, traffic management, environmental improvement and economic activity.
