Delhi Metro’s Phase 4 Project Nears Completion with the Opening of Janakpuri West-Krishna Park Extension
The much-awaited Janakpuri West-Krishna Park Extension stretch, spanning 2.5 km on the Janakpuri West-RK Ashram Marg, is expected to be operational by the end of August. This development is a significant milestone in Delhi Metro’s Phase 4 project. According to reports, the commissioner of Delhi Metro Railway recently inspected the Krishna Park station on July 30, 2024, indicating the final stages of preparation for its opening.
Incorporating Recommendations for a Smooth Commute
Vikas Kumar, the managing director of DMRC, stated in media reports that the inspection of the new section has been completed. The suggestions and recommendations during the inspection will be carefully considered, ensuring that the station is fully equipped and ready to offer a seamless commuting experience to passengers. The authority is optimistic about opening the stretch by the end of August.
An Underground Link in the Magenta Line
The Janakpuri West-RK Ashram Marg section features an underground connection, housing only one underground station – Krishna Park Extension. It serves as an extension of the Magenta Line that connects Janakpuri West and Botanical Garden. The projected completion date for the entire Janakpuri West-RK Ashram Marg section is March 2026.
Benefits for Neighboring Localities and Convenient Facilities
An official stated in a TOI report that the operation of the Krishna Park Extension station will greatly benefit the neighboring localities. Commuters residing nearby will no longer have to travel to Janakpuri West station to access the metro network. Equipped with advanced facilities, including platform screen doors for effective crowd management and enhanced commuter safety, the station will also feature an automatic fare collection system compatible with the National Common Mobility Card MCMC, further streamlining the ticketing process.
A Boost in Connectivity
The upcoming Delhi Metro Phase 4 expansion lines, including the Janakpuri West-RK Ashram Marg section, are instrumental in enhancing connectivity across the city. The route will connect various areas, such as Rohini, Prashant Vihar, North Rohini Campus, Pitampura, Dilli Haat, and Central Delhi. These new lines will provide alternative routes, reducing travel time and improving accessibility for residents in these regions.
Significant Milestones in the Phase 4 Project
Delhi Metro’s Phase 4 project comprises three major corridors: Majlis Park to Maujpur (12.5 km), Aerocity to Tughlakabad (23.6 km), and the upcoming Janakpuri West to RK Ashram (28.9 km stretch), which is set to be inaugurated soon. With each milestone achieved, Delhi’s metro network expands, offering commuters greater convenience and fostering the city’s development.
As the completion of the Janakpuri West-Krishna Park Extension draws near, Delhi citizens and commuters eagerly anticipate the new section’s opening. The progress being made in the Phase 4 project will undoubtedly enhance connectivity and pave the way for future development in the city, facilitating easier and more efficient transportation for all.
