“The existing bus terminals will also be renovated soon along these lines in the coming years,” he said in his Budget speech. In addition, the transport department will undertake the construction of two modern bus terminals at Nehru place and Najafgarh in collaboration with DMRC. Besides providing a host of amenities to commuters, the bus ports will also have commercial complexes which will help generate employment,” Gahlot said. These redeveloped ISBTs can very well be called bus ports. “Delhi government has partnered with DMRC to redevelop these two ISBTs through a public-private partnership model with top class amenities at par with airports.
On its redevelopment work, Gahlot said the existing ISBTs at Anand Vihar and Sarai Kale Khan, which cater to lakhs of commuters on a daily basis, will be converted into bus ports - locations which connect the bus terminal to other modes of transportation such as railways and the RRTS corridor. The flyovers are being built by DMRC as part of the upcoming Phase IV metro lines, which consist of Janakpuri West to RK Ashram, Tughlakabad to Aerocity and Maujpur to Majlis Park routes.
These flyovers have been designed in such a way that it will save ₹121 crore of taxpayers‘ money,” said Gahlot. “Our government, in collaboration with DMRC, is in the process to construct three unique double decker flyovers in the Capital running from Bhajanpura to Yamuna Vihar, Azadpur to Rani Jhansi intersections, and from Saket to Pul Prahaladpur. DMRC will also work with the government to redevelop two existing ISBTs and develop two new modern bus terminals, Gahlot said during the Budget session. In this regard, Budget 2023-24 has allocated ₹320 crore for the construction of three double-deck flyovers, which will consist of a metro rail on the upper deck and a flyover below it. On the government’s plan to revamp Delhi’s metro stations, the minister said they plan to set up mohalla clinics at metro stations, besides expanding infrastructure for e-scooters and charging stations to improve last-mile connectivity.
Expanding its role beyond creating metro infrastructure, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation will work in collaboration with the government on key infrastructure projects such as the construction of double-deck flyovers and interstate bus terminals (ISBT) in the coming years, finance Minister Kailash Gahlot announced on Wednesday.
