The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has initiated a feasibility study and prepared a detailed project report for a network of elevated corridors, underpasses, and road redesigns connecting Saket, Sangam Vihar, Khanpur, Pul Prahladpur, and Badarpur.

The proposed project aims to improve connectivity between Sangam Vihar, Saket, Khanpur, Maa Anandmayee Marg, Pul Prahladpur, and Badarpur, which witness heavy congestion daily due to dense residential clusters, roadside parking, and increasing vehicular pressure.

The project is expected to be completed within four months and will be executed at an estimated cost of ₹1,471 crore.

The proposal includes a nearly 5-km elevated corridor from Sangam Vihar to Maa Anandmayee Marg, along with another 1.1-km elevated stretch from Pul Prahladpur towards Badarpur.

The alignment is expected to connect major junctions and densely populated areas along MB Road, including Saket G-Block, Ambedkar Nagar, Khanpur, and Pul Prahladpur, while also integrating with existing flyovers and Metro corridors in the area.
