New Delhi, India (Metro Rail Today): The much-anticipated Sonipat to Delhi Metro project is on track for completion by 2028, marking a significant milestone in regional connectivity. As part of Phase 4 of the Delhi Metro expansion, this project aims to provide a seamless commuting experience for thousands of daily travelers between Sonipat and the national capital.

The new metro corridor will span 26.5 kilometers and feature 21 stations, stretching from Rithala in Delhi to Nathupur in Sonipat. Two key metro stations, Kundli and Nathupur, will be constructed in Sonipat to accommodate the growing commuter base and ease traffic congestion along the route.

D.S. Dhesi, Principal Advisor of the Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA), recently chaired a review meeting with officials from the Haryana Mass Rapid Transport Corporation (HMRTC), the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), and the District Administration. Discussions focused on key project aspects, including land acquisition, roadwork, and the relocation of electricity poles.
