Board approves Greater Noida West Metro extension proposal

The proposed Greater Noida West Metro corridor has received approval from the Public Investment Board (PIB), marking a significant milestone before the project is placed before the Union Cabinet for final clearance.

The proposed 8.4-km Metro extension will connect Noida Sector 51 with Greater Noida West Sector 4 through five stations. The project is estimated to cost around Rs 2,000 crore and is expected to improve public transport connectivity in one of the National Capital Region’s fastest-growing residential areas, reported The Times of India.

According to officials, the corridor will strengthen links between Noida and Greater Noida West, providing commuters with better access to the existing Metro network and reducing dependence on road transport. Once approved by the Cabinet, construction is expected to take around four years.

The Metro extension is expected to support urban expansion, improve mobility and cater to the growing population in Greater Noida West, where residential and commercial development has accelerated in recent years.
