Delhi Metro Red Line: Dilshad Garden-New Bus Adda section to boost connectivity to interior Ghaziabad

The Delhi Metro Red Line’s 9.63-km-long Dilshad Garden-New Bus Adda section, is likely to be inaugurated soon and will provide connectivity to the interior regions of Ghaziabad, authorities have revealed

February 15, 2019: The 9.63-km-long Dilshad Garden-New Bus Adda section of the Red Line, marking the Delhi Metro’s foray into the interiors of Ghaziabad, is set to be inaugurated ‘very soon’ and preparations are underway for it, authorities said, on February 14, 2019. This elevated section, comprising eight stations, will immensely benefit the people of Ghaziabad and connect the satellite city with the national capital.

“We are awaiting for the exact date for the event from the Uttar Pradesh government but it will be done very soon and preparations are underway, meanwhile,” vice-chairperson of the Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA), Kanchan Verma, said.

After opening of this section, the entire Red Line will become 34.72 kms. “Trains will be available at a peak hour frequency of six minutes and 12 seconds on the Dilshad Garden-New Bus Adda section. A total of 35 six-coach trains will be used on the entire Rithala-New Bus Adda Red Line corridor. The total journey from Dilshad Garden to New Bus Adda will take about 16 minutes,” executive director, corporate communications, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), Anuj Dayal said.

“The new corridor will be the first metro link connecting the interiors of Ghaziabad. It will pass through the Sahibabad Industrial Area and will significantly impact the residential areas lying in proximity,” Dayal said. The extension of Delhi Metro’s Red Line will connect residents of Ghaziabad to with various parts of the National Capital Region (NCR). “Currently, commuters have to rely on other modes of transport from Dilshad Garden to reach Sahibabad and further to Ghaziabad. Now, with extension of the metro, connectivity to Mohan Nagar from Dilshad Garden could also improve considerably,” he said.

Asked about the cost incurred in the construction, he said, “About 20 per cent has been borne by the DMRC and the rest by the GDA. All the station buildings have at least two TOM (ticket office machine) counters with one counter located at a lower height for facility of differently-abled commuters.”

Out of the eight stations on this section, six stations (Raj Bagh, Rajendra Nagar, Shyam Park, Mohan Nagar, Arthala, and New Bus Adda) have station buildings on both sides of the main highway and platforms on the central verge along the viaduct, i.e., those platforms are not a part of the station buildings but separate. “In other stations on our network, the station buildings and platforms are built together. In these six stations of the new corridor, the concourse level and station platforms are interconnected through foot over bridges (FOBs),” a senior official said. The Shaheed Nagar Station has only one station building on a side while the other side is connected through lifts and a staircase for commuters to reach from road-level to station building. At all stations (except Hindon River) an FOB at concourse level consists of paid and unpaid sections for the use of metro commuters and the general public, respectively. At Hindon River station, the FOB is common for both metro commuters and general public.

This would be the second metro corridor in Ghaziabad, after the Blue Line, which links Delhi to the neighbouring city in Vaishali. Under Phase III, so far 136.62 kms of network has been opened and 10.97 kms of the span would be left – Noida City Centre-Electronic City (6.6 kms) and Dwarka-Najafgarh (4.2 kms). “The Noida City Centre-Electronic City corridor with six stations is also expected to be opened any time soon,” the official said.
