Lead Story
Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for multiple development projects in Delhi with a total investment of around ₹33,500 crore, aimed at strengthening infrastructure, connectivity, and housing in the national capital.
A major highlight of the initiative is the expansion of the Delhi Metro network. Two new corridors were inaugurated under Phase IV, including the 12.3 km Majlis Park–Maujpur-Babarpur stretch of the Pink Line and the 9.9 km Deepali Chowk–Majlis Park section of the Magenta Line, which is expected to improve connectivity across key areas of the city.
The Prime Minister also laid the foundation stone for three additional Metro corridors under Phase V-A of the project. These include the R.K. Ashram Marg–Indraprastha, Aerocity–IGI Airport Terminal-1, and Tughlakabad–Kalindi Kunj routes, covering a combined length of over 16 kilometres and aimed at strengthening links between central Delhi, the airport, and surrounding regions.
