The proposed 8.4 km elevated corridor from Noida Sector 51 to Greater Noida West Sector 4, near Gaur Chowk, may receive Union Cabinet approval this month. It would have five stations, serve nearly five lakh residents and cost nearly ₹2,000 crore; construction is expected to take around four years. Noida CEO Krishna Karunesh said the DPR is with the Prime Minister’s Office and all required no-objection certificates have been received. The Public Investment Board cleared the revised proposal in July; Cabinet approval would allow tendering to begin.

The original 18 km plan, approved by Uttar Pradesh in 2024, linked Delhi Metro’s Sector 61 station with Knowledge Park V. The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs sought clarity on a proposed 72 km Ghaziabad–Jewar rapid rail corridor through Greater Noida West. NMRC revised the DPR, resulting in the shorter alignment.

The Centre also cleared the Noida Metro Aqua Line extension from Sector 142 to Botanical Garden. Larsen & Toubro received work contracts for both projects. The existing Aqua Line runs from Sector 51 to Depot station and averaged around 61,811 daily riders in July 2026.

The Railway Board granted a No Objection Certificate for the Aqua Line extension towards Greater Noida West, reported on 16 June 2026. The clearance allows Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC) to pursue further approvals and funding; it does not mean construction can begin. The next steps include a revised Detailed Project Report (DPR), central government sanction, funding clarity and tendering.

NMRC’s planned elevated corridor runs 17.435 km from Sector 51, Noida, to Knowledge Park V, Greater Noida, with 11 stations, via Vikas Marg and the Noida–Greater Noida Link Road. A reported first phase is approximately 7.5 km from Sector 51 to Greater Noida Sector 4/Kisan Chowk, with five proposed stations; these details remain provisional pending an official revised DPR. Sector 61 is planned as an interchange with the Delhi Metro Blue Line.

Greater Noida West, also called Noida Extension, has an estimated 4 lakh or more residents. The extension could reduce the 20–40-minute road journey residents currently make to reach Sector 51.

The separate Sector 142–Botanical Garden extension was approved by the Union Cabinet in February 2026: 11.56 km, eight stations and ₹2,254 crore. On its opening, Noida and Greater Noida are expected to have 61.62 km of active metro rail. NMRC began early planning in 2020; the Sector 51–Knowledge Park V corridor received Public Investment Board clearance in 2022.

Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC) will prepare a revised detailed project report for the Greater Noida West metro corridor. Phase 1 will have four stations at Sector 61, Sector 70, Sector 123, and Greater Noida Sector 4 (Gaur Chowk), down from eleven stations originally proposed. The initial alignment proposed an 18km track linking Delhi Metro's Sector 61 station on the Blue Line to Knowledge Park V in Greater Noida via Sectors 70, 122, 123, Greater Noida Sector 4, Ecotech 12, and Greater Noida Sectors 2, 3, 10, and 12. This announcement comes after the Union cabinet approved the Botanical Garden to Sector 142 extension of the Aqua Line.

The proposed Aqua Line Phase 2 extension would run 14.95 km from Noida Sector 51 to Knowledge Park V, with nine elevated stations. The article lists Sector 51, Sectors 122 and 123, Greater Noida Sectors 4, 2, 3, 10 and 12, Ecotech 12, and Knowledge Park V. Sector 51 connects with Blue Line Sector 52; Sector 2 is near Gaur City 1 and 2. The article also describes Sector 4 as Noida Extension’s entry point and Knowledge Park V as the terminus.

As of March 2026, soil testing was reported 100% complete, while civil-work tenders involving L&T and Tata Projects were in final stages. Pillar work between Sectors 4 and 2 was expected to become visible in the first week of April 2026. The targets were to open Sector 51–Sector 2 by the end of 2027 and the full line by mid-2028.

The article says Noida Extension 2 and 3 BHK prices rose 12% in six months and forecasts a 20–25% valuation increase as pillars rise. It reports the FNG Expressway was 80% complete and could cut travel to Noida and Faridabad by 20 minutes. It cites a proposed Knowledge Park II connection to the Jewar Airport Express Line and Dadri’s Dedicated Freight Corridor as potential sources of logistics and warehousing jobs and rental demand. It warns of construction traffic at Kisan Chowk, registry issues in some older projects, and says a 2 BHK under ₹50 lakh near the metro route is no longer feasible; peripheral areas near Jalpura or Knowledge Park V may have under-construction options.

Greater Noida Authority has issued a fine of Rs 25,000 to Amrapali Golf Homes Society, a high-rise society in Greater Noida West's Sector 4, for poor waste management. The fine was issued during an inspection of the residential complex.
