The PM listed the advantages as easier access to offices, schools, hospitals and commercial hubs, less congestion and shorter commutes.
Five new metro stations will be built along the route, and a direct interchange with the Blue Line at Sector-61 will give major relief to daily commuters, Pankaj Singh said in a post on X, thanking the Prime Minister and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for the decision.
According to a Cabinet-decision graphic shared with the posts, the extension will cover 8.449 km with five elevated stations, and once it is operational Noida and Greater Noida will have 71.878 km of active metro network. The graphic says the corridor will connect commercial hubs, IT and business centres, educational institutions, healthcare facilities and residential areas.
