• The second project is a 9.913 km underground Magenta Line extension connecting RK Ashram Marg to Indraprastha, linking major landmarks like Central Vista, India Gate, and Pragati Maidan to promote clean public transit.
• A 9 km elevated metro line from Tughlakabad to Kalindi Kunj was also assessed, including an interchange at Kalindi Kunj to connect Violet and Magenta lines and improve transit across Delhi and Noida.
• The fourth project is a 17.435 km corridor from Noida Sector-51 to Knowledge Park V in Greater Noida, aimed at meeting the growing mobility needs of the expanding township in Greater Noida West.
