Delhi metro created history on 12 Novemebr 2009,
when its Noida line became operational. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister
Mayawati flagged off the first metro train from Noida Citi Center. The
metro was open to the public from the next day.
The total construction took 3 years and 3 months which had started on August 1, 2006.
The Noida corridor is completely elevated and is
integrated with the existing 34.3 km Yamuna Bank-Dwarka Sector-9
segment, extending the total length of Line-3 to 47.4 km. The logest
for Delhi Metro.
Noida line is first operational line to cross over the Delhi border.
This is also the first line where the DMRC missed its deadline. The
line was scheduled for opening in June 2009. Noida has become the first
National Capital Region (NCR) city to be connected to the Metro network
which now extends to almost 90 km and covers 78 stations.
DMRC officials said that the security of the Delhi Metro in Uttar
Pradesh will be looked after by the Central Industrial Security Force
(CISF), which looks after the security of all Delhi Metro installations
in the national capital.
Moreover a Light Rail Transit (LTR) Link proposed from Noida Sector
32 to Greater Noida, Pari Chowk is worked upon as a consultancy project
by DMRC, as listed in their Consultancy Project list.

Metro Route (opens in New Window)
Sector 15 (Gol Chakkar)
This will be the first stop after entering Noida from New
Ashok Nagar. If any one passes by this place and wonders why
it is called Gol Chakkar, then historically there was indeed
a Gol Chakkar (Circle) at this junction. But as soon as the
traffic started to become heavy the circle was uprooted and
traffic lights were installed. It is the oldest landmark in
Noida, dating back to days when the township was not yet developed.
This station will mostly cater to people from New Asoke Nagar,
Sectors 1, 2, 14, 15, 14A, 15A, 6 & 7.
Sector 16 (HCL Office)
This is an IT major of Noida as many IT and electronic
companies are established near this place. DTC bus depot is
also present in this sector.
This station will gather people from Sector 3, 16, 17, 19,
16A, 9 & 20.
Sector 18 (Atta)
Sector 29 with Bhramaputra Shopping complex was once used
to be the most happening place in Noida with young and old
bee lining in the evening time. Long since Sector 18 has replaced
it to be commercially most successful place in Noida. It boasts
of very high property prices and heavily consumed electricity.
It has the first Mall cum Multiplex (Centerstage Mall and
Waves Multiplex) of Noida with five screens and India's one
of the best discotheque The Elevate. Sector 18 has almost
all the India's major band showrooms. This fast becoming difficult-to-park-at
place will have India's largest Appu Ghar in its vicinity,
and will surely gain more with Metro on its door.
A multi-level parking is planned in front of the Radisson
Hotel and will have seven-levels. It will be partly underground,
with three floors for commercial usage. The roof will host
a helipad.
This station will cater to the Sectors 27, 18, 28, 29, 26
& 30.
Sector 38A (Botanical Garden)
The Botanic Garden of Indian Republic (BGIR) is being set
up on 200 acres of prime land in Sector 38A by the Botanical
Survey of India under the Ministry of Environment and Forests,
Government of India. Its vast canvas will include such components
as woodlands, arboreta, water bodies, display sections, experimental
plots, and nurseries as well as civil structures like an administration-cum-herbarium-library
complex, interpretation centre, reception counters, conservatories,
parking complex and gazebos. The BGIR is mandated to conserve
the endangered plants of the country and showcase its threatened
plant diversity. It will also serve as a centre of excellence
for conservation research and environmental education. By
developing special innovative features, it is expected to
become a major attraction for eco-tourism even as it develops
into one of the most uniquely landscaped botanic gardens of
modern times.
This station will cater to the Sectors 29, 38/38A and also
people coming from Greater Noida side (atleast till Metro
is extended to Greater Noida).
Note: The plan to build the world's largest botanical
garden is almost scrapped. Please see the article Noida
botanical garden plan withers, makes way for Metro or
visit the News Archive for a
summary of that article.
Sector 37 (Golf Course)
Noida's golf course is old and is nearly full. This is why
Noida Authority is asking for bids to create a new golf course
in Noida. If you look at the image from Google Earth then
you can appriciate the top view of the golf course.
The station over here will cater to Sector 31, 36, 39, 40,
41, 42, 43, 44 and 37
Sector 32 (Noida City Center)
Architect Hafeez Contractor is working at the 99-hectare Noida
City Centre between that is located at sectors 25A/32, and
this will be the terminating point for Noida Metro Phase I.
As heard in the news this place will be a tourist attraction
in Noida with something similar to London
Eye will be created over here. World's largest building
was also planned by the authority over here, but ran into
lot of controversy and hopefully is finally dumped.
This station will cater to Sector 10, 11, 55, 56, 57, 58,
12, 21, 21A, 25, 32, 24, 23, 33, 35, 52, 53, 61, 62, 50, 51.
As you can see there are lot of sectors, so Noida Metro will
be extended in Phase II to cater to these sectors effectively.
Currently there are no operational feeder buses running in Noida (as listd on the Delhi Metro's Feeder Bus page).
