Key Takeaways :

  • DMRC plans a 16.5 km double-decker metro-flyover in North Delhi.
  • Metro trains above and a flyover below will ease traffic congestion.
  • A six-month feasibility study will assess the project’s viability.
  • Better connectivity could boost property prices in Keshav Puram, Pitampura, and Rohini.

The transport system in Delhi is on the verge of becoming smarter. Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is looking into a new ambitious double decker line linking Keshav Puram and Rohini Sector 34.

The concept is not too complicated but ingenious. It has Metro trains which run on the top and cars that use a flyover. This design is space-saving and reduces traffic congestion in North Delhi, which is a busy area.

What the Project Covers

This is a corridor of the Delhi Metro Phase V(B). It is located over a 16.5 km path and combines two functions in a single building.

The two decks have the following functionality:

  • 4th level: Metro trains (commuter trains).
  • Lower deck: A vehicle flyover to avoid traffic jam intersections.


DMRC has appointed a specialist consultant to run a detailed feasibility study. The following are the most important numbers:

The Engineering Challenge

Construction of this is not a simple one. The path is busy and congested with the city.

The engineers are required to lay out around the preexisting flyovers, metro lines, and older buildings. They should also construct without obstructing highways.

The study will check several critical points:

  • Traffic flow and transport demand
  • Mapping of underground utilities like water pipes and power cables
  • Soil strength and space for heavy pillars
  • Environmental impact to protect greenery
  • Loops, ramps, and cloverleafs at key junctions
 
The consultant will also model growth of traffic in the future. This assists in ensuring that the corridor is useful even after many decades.

What It Means for Real Estate

Improved transport nearly always increases property prices. North Delhi should be boosted greatly by this project.

The largest profits will probably be in the following areas:

  • Keshav Puram
  • Pitampura
  • Rohini (including Sector 34)
  • These neighborhoods are more favorable due to shorter travel time. Smart consumers are already eying the flats here as prices are yet to rise.

New infrastructure attracts jobs and retail brands, too. The area around stations is in great demand by individual constructors
