As per report from New Delhi sources it was stated that the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is soon going to start work on extending the Airport Express Line to Dwarka Sector 25. Currently the high-speed Airport Express Line connects New Delhi station to Dwarka Sector 21 station, with four stations in between Shivaji Stadium, Dhaula Kuan, Delhi Aerocity and IGI Airport (Terminal 3).
According to sources DMRC is now going to extend the corridor 1.5 km further to Dwarka Sector 25, connecting it to the upcoming exhibition cum convention centre of Dwarka and moreover the project of extending the line is expected to begin soon and will cost around Rs 310 crore. The station, to be named ECC Centre, will be underground and will be connected to the line through a tunnel, which will be constructed through the 'cut and cover' method.
It was stated that with the Airport Express Line
reaching the convention centre, it would be easier for people from across the
city to reach there and once the centre comes up it anticipates witnessing a
