New Delhi : The Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Wednesday (November 11, 2026), approved an ₹2,390-crore extension of the Noida Metro Aqua Line, paving the way for improved connectivity between Noida and Greater Noida West.
The proposed 8.449-km elevated corridor will connect Noida Sector 51 with Greater Noida Sector 4 through five new metro stations, significantly expanding the region’s public transport network.
A major highlight of the project is the proposed interchange at Sector 61, which will provide direct connectivity between the Aqua Line and Delhi Metro’s Blue Line. This is expected to make daily commuting easier by eliminating the need for a lengthy transfer between the existing Sector 51 and Sector 52 stations.
The five proposed stations will be located at Sector 61, Sector 70, Sector 122, Sector 123 and Greater Noida Sector 4.
Better Connectivity Across NCR
The extension is expected to benefit thousands of commuters travelling between Greater Noida West, Noida and Delhi. Passengers will have easier access to central Delhi, major commercial centres and onward metro connections towards the airport.
Boost for Residential and Commercial Hubs
The expanded corridor is expected to improve connectivity to densely populated residential neighbourhoods, shopping centres, IT hubs, schools and hospitals.
Major destinations expected to benefit include Gaur City Mall, Blue Sapphire Mall, H&S Mall, Anthurium Mall, IKEA, Tech Mahindra, TCL Tech and several educational and healthcare institutions.
With the expansion, the operational metro network across Noida and Greater Noida is projected to reach 71.878 km.
The project is expected to provide a major boost to urban mobility, reduce road congestion and strengthen public transport connectivity across the rapidly growing Noida-Greater Noida region.
