Extension of Delhi metro yellow line corridor
In India, urban planning is primarily the responsibility of State Governments and Union Territories (UTs), which are tasked with developing and integrating urban transport infrastructure. This decentralized approach allows local authorities to address the specific needs of their urban areas effectively.
To support these efforts, the Central Government has introduced several key policies, including:
National Urban Transport Policy (NUTP), 2006: Aims to promote sustainable urban transport systems and enhance integration among various modes of public transport.
Metro Rail Policy, 2017: Provides a framework for planning and implementing metro rail systems, focusing on efficiency and accessibility.
Transit Oriented Development Policy, 2017: Encourages high-density development around transit hubs to foster greater public transport usage and reduce reliance on private vehicles.
The Central Government also offers financial assistance for urban rail projects based on the feasibility of proposals presented by State Governments and the availability of resources.
Recently, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) granted in-principle approval to the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) to prepare a Detailed Project Report (DPR) for extending the Yellow Line from Samaypur Badli to Sonipat via Nathupur. This extension aims to improve connectivity and support regional growth.
Through these initiatives, India is working towards creating an efficient and integrated urban transport network that meets the demands of its growing urban population.
