The expansion is aimed at improving connectivity in high-density urban corridors and easing road congestion. 

The new stretch will integrate seamlessly with existing metro lines, enhancing commuter convenience and network efficiency. 

The project reinforces long-term investments in sustainable urban transport.

The approval underscores the government’s focus on mass rapid transit solutions for major cities. 

It also supports low-carbon mobility and urban infrastructure development.
