Violet line metro of Delhi has been established for the development of Ballabgarh's growing industrial center in Faridabad. The 3.2 km elevated corridor will have two stations and is expected to meet the extended deadline by June 2018. Earlier the launch was planned in December 2017.
The corridor will extend from the
13.8 km Badarpur-Escorts Mujesar section
which was opened to the public in September 2015. The other end of the line extends
to the ITO in Delhi and there are plans to connect it to the Kashmiri Gate on the Red Line.
Travelers heading to Ballabhgarh
will benefit greatly from the development as the destination is a noticeable
business center with many educational institutions and industries. This will
also increase employment opportunities.
Recently Ballabgarh was renamed
as Balramgarh. Chief Minister of Haryana, Manohar
Lal Khattar had publicized several developmental projects to declare the
area as a development area.
The cost of the metro project
from YMCA Chowk to Ballabhgarh is Rs 580 crore, with around Rs 95 crore
provided by the central government.
The YMCA Chowk-Ballabhgarh metro project is one of the Rs 1,090 crore
two-line expansion projects approved by the Public Investment Board (PIB) of the Ministry of Finance. The
second is an underground corridor from Najafgarh to Dhansa border. The metro
train at Badarpur-Faridabad is
powered by solar energy which is a major feature of the project.
The project began in 2015, but
was delayed due to the construction of columns for the crossover track near the main Ballabhgarh station, as well
as a legal dispute over the land required to remove or move water and sewer
pipelines.
