The Uttar Pradesh government on Thursday announced that a
new Metro rail system would be developed between Noida and Greater Noida by
2017.A detailed project report (DPR) of the 29.707 km stretch, prepared by the
Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), has been submitted to the state
government, an official told IANS.To be developed at the estimated project cost
of Rs.5,064 crore, the much-needed Metro link is expected to be commissioned by
2017. "The DPR is being forwarded to the union ministry of urban development
for further action," said Principal Secretary, Infrastructure and
Industrial Development Surya Pratap Singh.
"In view of the enormous pressure of passenger traffic
on Delhi-Noida route and projected population of over 15 lakh in Noida and
around 12 lakh in Greater Noida by the year 2031, a clean and smooth public
transport facility, matching the transport infrastructure of Delhi, is urgently
required in the area," he said.According to the DPR alignment, a total 22
stations are proposed, of which 13 will be constructed on ground while seven
stations will be elevated. Two stations at Knowledge Park-I and sector Delta-1
in Greater Noida are planned for future expansion.
Starting from Noida City Centre in Sector 32, the proposed
Metro corridor will lead towards Greater Noida via stations in sectors 50, 51,
78, 101, 81, on the Dadri road, 83, 85, 137, 142, 143, 144, 147, 153 &
sector 149 in Noida. It will enter Greater Noida through Knowledge Park-II and
traverse Pari Chowk, Alpha Commercial Belt,Sector-Alpha 1 and 2, before
terminating at Depot station near recreational green, Knowledge Park-IV in
Greater Noida. Entire Metro alignment is proposed to be elevated.
This news will boost the resale property on
Noida Expressway, as there are many well known builders developing residential
project at this location so those would get the connectivity with Metro also
soon. Though Jaypee Wish Town
Noida is located on Noida Expressway within sectors 128 to 134 and bit far
from the proposed metro at sector 137, location also the best.
