The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has announced a new metro corridor connecting Shastri Park to Mayur Vihar Phase III, aimed at significantly improving connectivity in East Delhi. This 13.197 km corridor will feature 8 stations, including both underground and elevated sections, with 8.99 km underground and 4.207 km elevated. The project is part of the recently approved Phase V (B) expansion plan, which will add 97.158 km and 65 stations to the metro network at an estimated cost of ₹48,204.56 crore. This new line is expected to facilitate travel for residents in densely populated areas such as Geeta Colony, Gandhi Nagar, and Patparganj, reducing reliance on road transport. Additionally, the corridor will include interchange stations at Shastri Park on the Red Line, Nirman Vihar on the Blue Line, and Trilokpuri on the Pink Line, enhancing cross-city connectivity. While the government has not confirmed if this corridor is among the priority projects targeted for completion by 2029, it represents a significant step towards expanding metro services in the National Capital Region (NCR).
