Greater Noida: The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation will soon start work on evaluating three options – Metrolite, Metro Neo and Metro Express — to connect the Noida International Airport with Knowledge Park II in Greater Noida and eventually other parts of NCR.
DMRC was asked to prepare a fresh report after the earlier one made in 2019 was rejected on grounds of travel time.
To cover a distance of 35.6 km, the earlier DPR had suggested 25 stations along the route.
Officials said the new plan would focus on bringing down the travel time to under 25 minutes between the two points by maintaining a speed of 120km an hour.
A major portion of the corridor — 32.3 km — would be elevated.
At present, the priority is to provide quick connectivity to the Jewar airport from other parts of NCR.
Metro connectivity already exists up to Knowledge Park II.
