Indian Railways has given the green light to two major infrastructure projects in North West Delhi. These developments aim to reduce heavy traffic congestion and save thousands of liters of fuel daily. The Delhi government, through the Public Works Department (PWD), submitted the technical proposals which were found feasible by the railway authorities.
Which areas will benefit from these railway projects?
Several key locations in North West Delhi will see a significant reduction in traffic jams. The projects will specifically provide relief to the following areas:
- Mukarba Chowk
- Haiderpur Badli
- Shalimar Bagh
- Azadpur
- Pitampura
- Keshavpuram
- Model Town
- Wazirpur
- Sanjay Gandhi Transport Nagar
What are the specific construction plans approved?
The railway authorities and the DRM have issued a principled NOC for two main works. First, the existing Railway Overbridge (ROB) on the Outer Ring Road at Haiderpur Badli will be widened to ease the pressure at Mukarba Chowk. Second, an elevated loop will be constructed from Shalimar Bagh to Sanjay Gandhi Transport Nagar to allow vehicles to cross the railway tracks without delays.
What is the impact on the general public?
Chief Minister Rekha Gupta announced on May 10, 2026, that these projects will save travel time for lakhs of daily commuters. The construction must follow strict safety standards to ensure that regular train operations are not affected. These steps are part of the effort to build a modern and seamless transport network for the city.
