A major boost to connectivity in Delhi is on the way as a new metro expansion project is planned between Kirti Nagar in West Delhi and Palam in South West Delhi. This new line is expected to make daily travel easier and more convenient for commuters moving across these busy parts of the city.

Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta announced this development on X (formerly Twitter). She mentioned that a ₹6,200 crore metro expansion project has been prepared, and the project will pass through densely populated areas like Sagarpur, giving residents quicker and better access to other parts of Delhi.

Better Connectivity Across West and South West Delhi

At present, people travelling between Kirti Nagar and Palam often face long road journeys and heavy traffic. The new metro line is expected to cut down travel time and offer a faster and smoother ride. It will improve direct connectivity between West and South West Delhi, making daily movement easier across the city.
