The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has announced the expansion of platforms at 32 metro stations with the aim of reducing peak-hour congestion.

According to PTI, the DMRC has already floated a tender with an estimated expenditure of Rs 5.71 crore, and the work is expected to be completed within a year from the commencement date.

The metro stations identified for expansion include Noida Sector-15, Noida Sector-16, Noida Sector-18, Golf Course, and Noida City Centre on Line 3 (Blue Line), along with Laxmi Nagar, Nirman Vihar, and Preet Vihar.
