The Noida-Greater Noida metro line is likely to be inaugurated by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on January 25, said officials of the Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC) on Thursday.

Safety nod

The nearly 30-km corridor of Aqua Line has been ready for a month now, with the Commissioner for Metro Rail Safety having granted requisite approvals in December itself.

“The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister will inaugurate the corridor, most likely on January 25. He is likely to travel on the metro till Sector 142 station after the inauguration,” said a NMRC official.

The Aqua Line corridor has 21 stations and connects Greater Noida’s Depot Station and Noida Sector 51.

However, the Aqua Line is not yet directly connected with the Delhi Metro network.

Last mile connectivity

The NMRC will provide facilities for last mile connectivity between Aqua Line and the Delhi Metro’s Blue Line, NMRC officials had said earlier.
