The 2.5-kilometer section from Janakpuri West to Krishna Park Extension will start operating next month, and the 12.31-kilometer Majlis Park-Maujpur corridor will be operational next year. The completion of the Majlis Park-Maujpur line will create Delhi's first ring corridor, with metro services running in both directions circularly. Despite delays due to COVID-19, land, and tree-cutting approvals, construction is on track. New corridors, Lajpat Nagar to Saket G Block and Indraprastha to Inderlok, are also being developed. The Rithala-Narela-Kundli corridor is awaiting final approval from the central government. There is no progress on the planned metro corridor between Delhi Airport and Gurugram, but it is considered essential and will materialize eventually. DMRC is outsourcing metro operations to private agencies, which reduces operational and maintenance costs. While increasing frequency is suggested due to pollution concerns, Kumar emphasizes that metro trains are expensive and frequency is sufficient on heavily used lines. The Delhi government is purchasing nine-meter buses for last-mile connectivity, and 1163 e-autos are already operating from various stations. Preliminary preparations and surveys for Phase Five have begun to address the growing transportation needs of NCR.
