Construction Begins on Delhi's Central Vista Metro Corridor and Central Secretariat Station
Construction has begun on the Central Vista Metro corridor in Delhi, a 9.9 km underground extension of the Magenta Line connecting R.K. Ashram Marg to Indraprastha. The new Central Secretariat station will serve as a triple interchange with the Yellow and Violet Lines, easing congestion at Rajiv Chowk and improving access to government offices along Kartavya Path. The corridor, part of Delhi Metro's Phase V(A) project funded by the Centre, Delhi government, and JICA, aims to benefit around 60,000 office workers and 200,000 daily visitors, with completion expected by 2028.
