The MoU will facilitate swift transfer of any land required for Metro construction to DMRC, while also setting up a high power committee (HPC) chaired by the chief secretary and consisting of secretaries from different government departments for speedy action, the officials said.

In an official statement, the chief minister's office on Monday said the signing of the MoU was approved by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and is likely to help remove any roadblocks in the construction, with Kejriwal also simultaneously pushing to get the three pending Phase 4 corridors approved soon.

These three pending corridors, if approved, are likely to add another 47.25 km of Metro network in the Capital.
