Friends,
We have some good news and some bad news about Metro in Ghaziabad. While Vaishali metro is getting delayed due to negligence of UPPCL, the new DPR from DMRC has Dilshad Garden metro to be extended to New Bus adda in Ghaziabad.
Please have the following report:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Residents of trans-Hindon and other areas of Ghaziabad are eagerly waiting for the Metro to reach Vaishali.
The Metro project was planned in the city in 2003. During this long period, several changes have been made in this much awaited rail project. Meanwhile the Metro rail reached Noida but Ghaziabad residents are still waiting for their dream to come true.
The 2.57-km-long Anand Vihar-Vaishali route is under construction but much remains to be done. The high-tension wires and electric poles are yet to be removed from the construction site. Problems range from tussles with builders, the UPPCL and GNN.
The project was initiated in 2008 and was expected to be completed by 2009. But the deadline has been further extended to September 2010 but experts feel it may not be completed till 2011.
GDA chief engineer and Metro in-charge Anil Garg is, however, optimistic about the ongoing work and assured to get Metro in the city well before the Commonwealth Games.
"Due to negligence of UPPCL officers, this much-awaited metro extension project has been delayed," said Narendra Kumar Chaudhary, GDA VC.
DPR for second Metro extension project
GDA officials have every reason to rejoice at this moment as they recently received the DPR report from the DMRC for second metro extension project from Dilshad Garden to New Bus Depot.
Six stations have been proposed on this 9.5-km-long route. "The estimated cost was Rs 900 crore in 2008 which went up to Rs 1100 crore in 2009. It goes up to Rs 1155 crore in January 2020 but in recent DPR it is Rs 1600. It might change in future," said Anil Garg. The city administration will try to get loan from the NCR Planning Board. They are also thinking how to raise more funds for this coveted Metro rail project.

Hi Anonymous,
I think your budget is good enough for a 900 Sq ft flat in the Mahagunpuram project.
I will suggest you to get in touch with following person for all teh latest payments and cost related matters. He is a very good person as real estate agent. Personally, i had a great experience and he helped me in everything; otherwise it would been difficult for me being located in Mumbai.

Hi Anand,
At this moment the Ghaziabad Metro future does not seems great. In the latest post, it is reported that the political tussle is going to impact the process gravely.
Even the Vaishali metro, which was supposed to be in running condition is lagging behind.
The 2nd phase and 3rd phase promise to include two new routes Dilshad Garden-New Bus Adda and Vaishali-Meharaulli. But till now there is no clue when they will stat and how they will be funded.
See the link below for detail routes :
