Talking about Delhi Metro as an example of ‘Make in India’, PM Modi said, “We also want to boost Make In India by making coaches of the Metro in India itself. Several nations helped us in the making of the Delhi Metro and other Metros, and now, we are helping other nations by designing coaches for their Metro systems,” he said. The Mundaka – Bahadurgarh section of Delhi Metro’s green line is a third of the network to enter Haryana. The Metro network is already functional in two other cities of Haryana – Gurugram, and Faridabad. Here are 5 important things to know about the Mundka – Bahadurgarh section that every Delhi Metro commuter should know:
1) The Mundaka – Bahadurgarh section, which is the extension of the Inderlok – Mundka Corridor, is 11.183 km long. Now, with the opening of the section, the length of the entire corridor will become 26.33 km.
2) There will be 7 metro stations in the Mundka – Bahadurgarh section, out of which 4 will be in the capital city and 3 will be in Haryana. The metro stations which will be in Delhi are Mundka Industrial Area metro station, Ghevra metro station, Tikri Kalan metro station and Tikri Border metro station. The metro stations which will be in Haryana are Modern Industrial Estate metro station, Bus Stand metro station, and City Park metro station.
3) The entire Mundka – Bahadurgarh section will be elevated and will connect the capital city with Bahadurgarh. Additionally, the Mundka – Bahadurgarh section will also provide connectivity to many areas of Delhi such as Mundka, Ghevra, Tikri Kalan etc.
4) For commuters from Bahadurgarh, the blessing would be connectivity to western and central parts of Delhi through interchange facility at Kirti Nagar (Blue Line) and Inderlok (Red Line).
