The phase includes a total of 65 km of which 28 km will be underground.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Already, the DMRC has built a 2.2 km tunnel between Krishna Park Extension and Keshavpur on the Janakpuri West-RK Ashram Marg corridor, while the operation is continuing on the 1.27 km tunnel between Chhatarpur and Kishangarh stations on the Aerocity-Tughlakabad corridor.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the coming months, tunnelling will start on several other stretches. As stated, the underground stations are being built using the traditional &#8216;cut and cover&#8217; technology, whereas particular Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) are being used for the tunnels.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Due to the routes&#8217; passage through heavily populated areas, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation encounters a substantial hurdle in finishing the 18 stations it seeks to build on the underground portion of Phase IV.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Throughout the underground work, the structures above the work zones will be observed continuously. 9 km of the line&#8217;s total length will be buried along the Aerocity\u2013Tughlakabad corridor, while 9 km will be underground along the Janakpuri West\u2013RK Ashram Marg sector.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">DMRC is expecting to finish the Phase-IV project by the end of 2025.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">DMRC officials have declared that tunnelling work will begin soon on several stretches, such as Sangam Vihar-Anandamayi on the Aerocity-Tughlakabad corridor and Derawal Nagar-Pul Bangash and Nabi Karib-Pul Bangash on the Janakpuri West-RK Ashram Marg corridor.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As reported, the tunnelling work will be monitored, and the buildings above the tunnels will be checked regularly. As a DMRC official claimed, using tunnel boring machines is revolutionizing tunnelling work worldwide, as they do not affect surrounding buildings or other structures on the ground while making the tunnels.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tunnel boring machines are extremely useful in underground tunnelling work in congested urban areas, and the DMRC has been using them since Phase-I of the project. During Phase III, when the 50 km underground section was constructed, approximately 30 TBMs were utilized in Delhi.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As planned, the Janakpuri West-RK Ashram corridor (Magenta Line) will have 22 stations, of which 11 will be underground. The Tughlakabad-Delhi Aerocity (Silver Line) will have 15 stations, of which seven will be underground. Also, the Majlis Park-Maujpur (Pink Line) will have eight stations. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is making essential advancements in Phase IV of the metro network.
