New train of thought? Blue Line to catch up with Orange for joint run by 2028: Officials
MPRMCL managing director S Krishna Chaitanya said, "The entire metro network (Orange line and Blue lines, encompassing Phase I and Phase II, is expected to be operational by 2028", indicating a optimistic revised timeline, following early complications in planning and execution, particularly in densely populated regions like Karond, Phase I has undergone strategic realignment.
Phase II's implementation has been streamlined through a dedicated organisation, enhanced collaboration with district authorities, and expedited infrastructure planning.
According to Chaitanya, as for priority corridor (depot to AIIMS-Bhopal 7 km) crucial infrastructure including entry and exit points at AIIMS and Alkapuri stations will be finished soon. That will enable Bhopal Metro priority corridor to obtain safety certification from the Commissioner of Railway Safety.
RSDO certification is expected to come about by Aug 15. These approval is crucial for commencing passenger operations by Oct.
The Orange Line, stretching approximately 16 km, will establish connectivity between Karond Circle and AIIMS, featuring two underground stations.
The Blue Line, an entirely elevated 14-km route, will connect Bhadbhada Square to Ratnagiri Tiraha.

Why Noida must fast-track its skywalk plan at this office hub in Sector 62
Noida: Noida Authority is preparing to build a circular skywalk equipped with a travelator at the Model Town crossing near the Sector 62-63 roundabout along Delhi-Meerut Expressway to ease traffic congestion in the area and ensure safer pedestrian movement. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Being a crucial junction where jaywalking is rampant, the skywalk will not only facilitate easier crossing of Vishwakarma Road outside the Electronic City Metro station, but it will also benefit thousands of commuters who walk through to board buses and other public transport services to Meerut, Hapur, Bulandshahr, and other destinations. A hub of IT firms and educational institutions, Sector 62 is a key area that sees massive traffic every day. The area also includes the Blue Line's Electronic City metro station, making it a major transit point for professionals, students, and other commuters. Surendra Kumar Gupta, president of the federation of Sector 62 RWAs, said that commuters heading to or from Sectors 59, 61, 62, 63, 51, 71, etc., regularly use this route. "People coming from Meerut exit here to reach Noida, while many also travel from here to Delhi. The junction becomes chaotic during morning and evening peak hours, with many pedestrians forced to jaywalk, risking their lives due to the lack of a convenient crossing," he said. The area is further congested by encroachments from e-rickshaws and autos ferrying passengers to various sectors in Noida and Ghaziabad. Footpaths remain largely unusable due to the presence of street vendors and hawkers, leaving little space for pedestrians. Meanwhile, SP Singh, general manager at Noida Authority, acknowledged the challenges and said that while a foot overbridge (FOB) already exists about 200 metres away from the crossing, many people avoid using it due to the distance. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "We plan to build a 400-metre-long circular skywalk with a width of 4 metres, connecting all four directions at the crossing. It will be equipped with a travelator and will also be linked to the existing FOB to facilitate people crossing the DME," he said. The skywalk will be built above the ground to mirror the roundabout. It will be around 400 m long and covered with an iron roof so that people can use it comfortably even during rain or heat. The estimated cost of the project is Rs 40 crore, and the authority aims to complete it within a year. The design and drawings have been submitted to IIT Delhi for technical vetting. "We expect to receive IIT's clearance soon. Any suggestions for design modifications will be incorporated, following which we will begin the tendering process and move to construction," Singh added.
