Noida Metro work is in full swing for the route that extends the Delhi Metro line coming to New Ashok Nagar (Phase II) till the soon upcoming Noida City Center at Sector 32. The whole stretch will be on elevated line and trains would run at an interval of six minutes between stations, meaning the metro will travel above the road and will not need and road widening or demolition. Flip side will be that commuters have to climb up/down for the train. How good it will be for older people that we will have to wait and watch.
The proposal till this time is final for the first phase of Noida Metro, that will run overhead instead of underground all the way to the City Center. The next Phase is also in plan that may extend Noida Metro till Sector 62 or Indirapuram in Ghaziabad. Also plans are in place for extending it to Greater Noida.
The scheduled completion date for first phase is June 2009, just before the Commonwealth Games 2010 at New Delhi.
Last official statement from DMRC puts the Indraprastha-Noida line start date in October 2009.
