The Union Cabinet has approved the extension of the Aqua Line Metro corridor from Noida Sector 51 to Greater Noida Sector 4 under the Noida Metro Rail Project.
The 8.449 km-long corridor will have five elevated metro stations and is expected to significantly improve connectivity between Noida, Greater Noida and Greater Noida West.
Once operational, the combined active metro network in Noida and Greater Noida will increase to 71.878 km.
The new metro link will provide direct connectivity between Greater Noida West and the Delhi Metro network, helping commuters save travel time and reducing traffic congestion at busy points such as Parthala Chowk, Gaur Chowk and Ek Murti Circle.
The corridor is planned to connect several important commercial, residential, educational and healthcare hubs across the region.
Key destinations that will benefit from the extension include Gaur City Mall, H&S Mall and office spaces, Blue Sapphire Mall, commercial areas in Greater Noida Sector 4, IKEA at Noida Sector 51 and Anthurium Mall in Noida Sector 73.
The project will also improve access to major corporate and IT hubs, including Tech Mahindra and TCL Tech offices in Noida Sector 60, the Oil Industry Development Board in Sector 73 and Golden I office and commercial space in Greater Noida Sector 4.
Several educational institutions, healthcare facilities and residential societies will also get improved connectivity through the corridor. These include Delhi Public School in Noida Sector 122, Kailash Hospital, Rama Hospital, Cloud9 Hospital, Cleo County Residencies in Noida Sector 122 and Gaur City 1 and 2 in Greater Noida Sector 4.
