NMRC managing director and Noida authority CEO Ritu Maheshwari was quoted by   Hindustan Times as saying: “The process of sanctioning approval for the project is underway at the central government level. The approval can come anytime and the work will start soon. But the date cannot be fixed as to when the work will begin.

An official from the Noida authority said: “However, in many cases the approval from the Government of India for Metro projects came later and we already started the work at the site. But here, it is the state government and the Noida authority which will decide the date from when work will begin on the ground.”

In May last year, NMRC began the survey for testing e soil, topography, and geography for the 14.95km long Metro Corridor.

This corridor will stretch out from the current 29.7km-long Aqua Line.

Last week, the Indian Government signed a finance agreement with European Investment Bank for first tranche loan of $283.35m for Agra Metro Rail Project in the state of Uttar Pradesh.
