Work is going on on Aerocity-Tughlakabad, RK Ashram Marg-Janakpuri West and Majlis Park-Maujpur corridors at a cost of about Rs 24,950 crore. In this, the work of RK Ashram-Janakpuri West corridor is almost complete. It is planned to start it this month. At the same time, the Aerocity-Tughlakabad and Majlis Park-Maujpur corridors are targeted to be completed in 2026.
Residents of Noida and South Delhi will benefit
