In a major infrastructure push for NCR, the Union Cabinet has approved the 11.56 km metro extension corridor from Noida Sector 142 to Botanical Garden. The elevated stretch will include 8 stations and significantly strengthen the Noida Metro network.
With this addition, Noida and Greater Noida will have a combined operational metro network of 61.62 km, enhancing last-mile connectivity and easing traffic congestion in high-density commercial and residential zones.
Direct Interchange with Delhi Metro

This corridor is expected to serve:
Commercial hubs: Advant Business Park (Sector 142), Skymark One Mall (Sector 98), Mall of Noida (Sector 93)
Major IT & MNC offices: Microsoft (Sec 145), Infosys (Sec 132), TCS (Sec 157), Oracle (Sec 127), Adobe (Sec 132), Cognizant (Sec 135), Havells (Sec 126)
