Delhi's rapid transit network is set to expand significantly, with the city government releasing funds for the remaining three corridors of Phase-IV of the Delhi Metro Rail Transit System (MRTS), a move expected to ease congestion, improve connectivity and help curb pollution in the capital.

Announcing the decision, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said the expansion reflected the government's commitment to strengthening public transport. “These Metro projects will provide improved connectivity to several parts of Delhi, reduce traffic pressure on roads and play a crucial role in controlling pollution,” she said, adding that all corridors are expected to be completed within four years.
