‘Cabinet note being prepared for circulation to all stakeholders for starting work’

If the National Capital Region Planning Board (NCRPB) sources are to be believed, a high-speed corridor connecting all the important towns/areas of NCR can be a reality in future. The high-speed corridors are aimed at improving the connectivity to facilitating better commuting in the region. The NCRPB had prepared a functional plan last year for creating a transport system for NCR-2032. The plan recommended eight regional rapid transit system (RRTS) corridors to connect various towns/areas of NCR, of which the Centre prioritised three corridors for implementation in consultation with the State governments.

Interchange stations to further boost connectivity

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation's Phase III expansions plans are sure to please many more residents of the city. First it was the ‘heritage corridor' for heritage enthusiasts, now plans to connect four of South Delhi's prominent markets will surely prove a boon for shopaholics. By 2016, four major markets — Sarojini Nagar, INA, South Extension and Lajpat Nagar — will have dedicated underground metro stations connecting them.
