Noida Metro Aqua Line extension: 7.5 km, 5 new stations to connect 5 lakh Greater Noida West residents — full details

Noida Metro Rail Corporation is planning a 7.5-km extension of the Aqua Line — from Sector 51, Noida to Kisan Chowk (Sector 4, Greater Noida West). Five new Metro stations will connect over 5 lakh residents of Greater Noida West societies who currently have no Metro access. Cost: Rs 1,500 crore.

The five stations on the new Aqua Line extension: Sector 61 · Sector 70 · Sector 122 · Sector 123 · Greater Noida Sector 4 (Kisan Chowk). The line runs separately from the RRTS but will connect to the proposed Ghaziabad-Jewar Airport RRTS corridor — creating a travel loop across three cities.

The Rs 1,500 crore project will be jointly funded by the Central Government, the Uttar Pradesh Government, and the Noida and Greater Noida authorities.

Once complete, this extension will allow Greater Noida West residents to reach Jewar Airport via two routes: Metro from their sector to Kisan Chowk, then the RRTS to Jewar. This creates India's first end-to-end public transport route from a major residential township directly to an international airport.

NMRC MD Karunesh confirmed: because NMRC is a Central Government undertaking under the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, construction will begin after PIB approval and take approximately two years to complete. Greater Noida West residents can expect Metro access by 2028–2029. (Representative image)
