Noida: A RapidX train will run from Noida to Ghaziabad. On the instructions of GDA Vice President Rakesh Kumar Singh, Acting Chief Engineer Manvendra Singh has started the exercise to prepare the revised DPR. Metro will run from Sector-62 to Sahibabad station on the RapidX train.
The Acting Chief Engineer said that after the metro runs from Noida Sector-62 to Sahibabad Station Rapid Train, the passengers of both cities will get a lot of relief. Connectivity will be better after the Metro is operational. People coming from Delhi and Meerut aboard the RapidX train will be able to reach Noida and other places easily by taking the metro from here. This decision has been taken keeping in mind the convenience of the people.
Under the DPR prepared for the metro project till Vasundhara Cut, the proposed cost of the said route was estimated at Rs 1517 crore. Now GDA plans to connect Noida Sector-62 Metro with the Sahibabad station of the Rapid X train. Therefore, DPR will be prepared with minor changes. Due to this, there will be a slight change in the location of the proposed Vasundhara Metro station. A total of five metro stations are proposed from Noida Sector-62 to Sahibabad station of the Rapid X train.
After the lobbying of Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya, a meeting was held under the chairmanship of Additional Chief Secretary Housing Nitin Ramesh Gokarn a few months ago where government officials said that the Uttar Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation is working on the funding pattern in other cities of UP. The Ghaziabad authority should present a similar proposal.
