en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has officially commenced the construction of the Central Secretariat metro station under the Central Vista Corridor project. This station is a key node in Phase 5 (Stage A) of the Magenta Line extension from Janakpuri West to RK Ashram Marg. Once completed, it will serve as a three-line interchange hub connecting the Yellow Line and Violet Line, directly enhancing metro accessibility to the administrative, judicial, and cultural core areas of New Delhi.
The groundbreaking ceremony was presided over by Shri Manohar Lal, Minister of Housing and Urban Affairs and Power, and attended by Shri Katikithala Srinivas, Secretary of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs and Chairman of DMRC, along with several senior officials of the organization. The Central Vista Corridor is a 9.913-kilometer underground metro corridor featuring nine underground stations: Shivaji Stadium, Yuge Yugeen Bharat, Central Secretariat, Kartavya Bhawan, India Gate, War Memorial–High Court, Baroda House, Bharat Mandapam, and Indraprastha. This project is part of Phase 5 (Stage A) of the Delhi Metro network, aimed at directly connecting government offices, national monuments, judicial institutions, and convention facilities to the metro system to improve transportation access to key destinations in central New Delhi.
According to the project design, the transformation of Central Secretariat from a single station into a three-line interchange station is expected to reduce commuting time to Lutyens' Delhi and surrounding areas, providing a smoother transfer experience for government employees, professionals, tourists, and residents. Additionally, with Bharat Mandapam serving as a venue for domestic and international events, this corridor will facilitate convenient metro access for delegates and visitors.
