The construction of Metro corridors under the proposed phase 4 may start much before the ongoing phase 3 is completed.
Taking steps in this direction, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is almost on the verge of completing the detailed project report (DPR) for the proposed phase 4 corridors (94.24km).
By August DPR for all the corridors proposed in phase 4 will be ready and submitted to the state government for requisite approvals. After that we will be able to start civil work under phase 4, anytime the government wants us to, said SD Sharma, director, business development, DMRC.
Delhi Metro has already prepared and submitted the DPR for the Maujpur-Mukundpur corridor to the Delhi government.
It is also almost ready with the DPR for Janakpuri West-RK Ashram corridor and would submit it to the government within a week, said Sharma.
By the end of this month, DMRC will submit DPRs for three other corridors Tughlakabad-Aerocity, Lajpat Nagar-Saket G Block and Inderlok-Indraprastha and the DPR for Rithala-Narela via Bawana by August, said DMRC officials.
Before finalising, the DPRs would have to be approved first by the Delhi government and then by the Centre.
We may have to start construction work for some corridors under phase 4 much before the completion of phase 3 in 2016. We have expedited the process of preparing DPR for phase 4 as the urban development minister wanted early execution of the project, Sharma said.
Phase 4 is scheduled to be completed by 2021.
According to officials, Delhi Metro has made certain changes in the initial project layout following suggestions given by the Rail India Technical and Economic Service (RITES), an engineering consultancy company, which last year had conducted a traffic survey and found that some changes in the plan would benefit more people.
