The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) announced a significant step forward in its ambitious Phase 4 expansion on Wednesday, following the successful tunneling of a crucial 1.5-kilometer section on the up-and-coming Golden Line.
A Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) of 91 meters in length made a breakthrough at the under-construction Vasant Kunj Metro Station, marking a pivotal moment for the ongoing development of the Tughlakabad-Aerocity corridor.
This completion involved installing 1,105 concrete rings at depths averaging 23 meters using Earth Pressure Balancing, ensuring minimal impact on surrounding structures.
