The central government has officially cleared a 2.6-kilometre extension of Noida Metro’s Aqua Line from Depot station to Bodaki in Greater Noida.
This crucial link will connect passengers to the proposed multi-modal logistics hub and promises to be ready in three years. The total cost of the project is Rs 416.34 crore, as per Hindustan Times.
Why Does This Matter?
This small extension is set to make a big impact. It will take metro access deeper into Greater Noida, reaching areas like Bodaki and Junpat village. With growing residential and industrial developments in these regions, the improved connectivity is expected to boost travel ease and reduce reliance on road transport.
Who’s Funding the Project?
The financial load will be shared among various government agencies.
- Rs 211.80 crore will come from central institutions like the National Capital Region Planning Board.
- The Centre will pitch in with Rs 70.59 crore.
- Uttar Pradesh government will contribute Rs 91.08 crore.
- Rs 10.44 crore will go towards land acquisition.
What’s Next on the Cards?
While the Bodaki extension is a go, NMRC is now eyeing the green light for two more projects:
- A major 11.56km link from Botanical Garden to Noida Sector 142
- A 5km connection from Sector 51 to Knowledge Park 5 in Greater Noida West
The Botanical Garden route is especially crucial, as it will bring seamless integration between Delhi Metro’s Blue Line and Noida Metro’s Aqua Line, making it easier to reach Noida International Airport in Jewar.
NMRC has already completed the topography survey for the 11.56km route, mapping buildings, homes, and markets along the planned track. Once approved, work will begin at full speed.
