    The Indigo Line (Line 11) is a proposed line of the Delhi Metro. It will provide improved connections to northern, north-western and central Delhi with eastern, south-eastern Delhi and Noida, to decrease the increasing traffic, congestion and pollution on roads. It will act as a link line, by joining seven lines–Red, Green, Magenta, Yellow, Orange, Violet and Blue lines with each other. It will start from Inderlok and end in Indraprastha. It will be 12.57 km (7.81 mi)-long with eleven stations, out of which six will be underground and five wil be elevated. Construction is expected to begin in 2024, as part of the fourth phase of the Delhi Metro's development, and is slated to be completed by 2026.[1][3][4]

    History

    [edit]

    The Indigo Line was conceptualized by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) under the Phase IVofDelhi Metro's future expansion and development in July 2016. As per the plan, six new lines covering a length of about 104 km (65 mi) have been planned to be added to the metro network, out of which the Indigo Line will connect Inderlok with Indraprastha, at a length of 12.57 km (7.81 mi). The plans were finalized for implementation by the Government of Delhi in December 2018.[5] In March 2019, the plans were approved for construction by the Government of India. Thus, land acquisition for Phase IV and Indigo Line began from April 2019, and was completed in three years. Construction was supposed to begin from 2021, but was delayed due to the restrictions imposed by the government due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[6] It was expected to be completed by 2024/25, which has been extended to 2026, as of February 2024.[4]
