Greater Noida: A long-term proposal of Delhi Metro Rail Corporation to extend the Blue Line from Sector 71 to Greater Noida west has finally found a push. The CEO of Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) has said he would take up the proposal at a board meeting on December 3.Narendra Bhooshan, the GNIDA CEO, said he would also recommend to the Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC) to take up the project on a priority basis and expedite work on it.Bhooshan said the need for extending the metro line to Greater Noida was felt because the area, earlier known as Noida Extension, was getting more and more populated by the day.“A number of people has started living here of late and they work in different companies.

The residents will get a good public transport system in the area,” he said.Greater Noida west has developed into a residential hub in the past one decade.
