Noida Metro to Tender Extensions for Aqua Line Corridors Next Month

The Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC) plans to issue tenders next month for extending two Aqua Line corridors: the 11.56-km Botanical Garden to Sector 142 stretch with eight elevated stations, and the 2.6-km Depot to Bodaki segment with two stations. A general consultant will be appointed to validate project details, prepare tender documents, and oversee construction quality and safety. The Botanical Garden-Sector 142 corridor, costing about ₹2,254 crore, is expected to complete in three years, while the Depot-Bodaki stretch is estimated at ₹416 crore. These extensions aim to enhance connectivity in Noida and Greater Noida, linking key sectors and improving access to the airport and a proposed transport hub.
