Badarpur Metro nears finishing line

The 20.16-km-long line will branch out from a new Metro station that is coming up adjacent to the one at Central Secretariat. From here, the Metro will traverse underground through Khan Market, Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Jangpura, before running elevated through Lajpat Nagar, Moolchand, Kailash Colony, Nehru Place, Kalkaji Mandir, Govindpuri, Okhla, Jasola, Sarita Vihar, Mohan Estate and Tughlaqabad to reach Badarpur. There is a request to extend the line to Faridabad in future, for which DMRC has given three possible route options to the Haryana government.


Trains will run at an average speed of about 37 kmph and will reach Nehru Place from Connaught Place in 20 minutes. Since the line is coming up on highly-congested roads, it is being constructed on standard gauge to allow better movement.

While 97% of the work on the underground tunnels and stations have been completed, the mid section of the line from Lajpat Nagar to Okhla is about 80-90% done. The problem area is the portion between Jasola and Badarpur, where construction is about 75% done. Read more in The Times of India
