Metro services will expand to 25 cities by 2025, says Modi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday inaugurated the country’s first driverless train on the Delhi Metro’s Magenta Line.
Stating that unlike previous regimes, his government has taken steps towards urbanisation, Mr. Modi said that by 2025 metro services will expand to 25 cities across India from the current 18.
“In Delhi, discussions aro-und the metro rail service went on for a long time but it became operational only during former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s tenure. In 2014, only 248 km of metro lines were operational. Today, at 700 km, it is almost three times of what it was earlier. We are working to expand it further to 1,700 km by 2025,” said Mr. Modi.
