Delhi Metroneo
Planned light rail transit in Delhi, India / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Delhi Metroneo is a planned 19.09 km (11.86 mi) Metrolite system with 21 stations that will connect Kirti Nagar to Bamnoli Village via Mayapuri, Hari Nagar, Tihar Jail, Dwarka Sector 2, Sector 7, Sector 6, Sector 20, and Sector 23, and the Dwarka ECC.Earlier the corridor was planned as a Metrolite but in November 2020, the project was cancelled, replacing the corridor with Metro Neo by the DMRC officials.[1][2][3] It will be designed as per MoHUA's Metrolite specifications,[4] and will be much cheaper to construct because of its lower speeds and carrying capacities compared to regular metros. Detailed Project Report (DPR) for this line was approved by DMRC's board in October 2019, and is currently awaiting the Delhi Government's approval.[5]
