Delhi Metro Blue Line Branch Phase-wise Expansion

Phase II (2010) (Completed)

The Yamuna Bank–Anand Vihar ISBT section opened in January 2010 as part of Delhi Metro's Phase II expansion. This extension created a direct metro connection between East Delhi and the existing Blue Line network. Yamuna Bank became an important interchange point for passengers travelling towards different parts of Delhi and the NCR region.

Phase II Extension (2011) (Completed)

The Anand Vihar–Vaishali extension, including Kaushambi station, opened on 14 July 2011. This expansion extended the Blue Line branch into Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, improving connectivity for commuters travelling between East Delhi, Vaishali and nearby residential areas. Anand Vihar also provides access to major railway and interstate bus services.

Future Phase: Vaishali–Mohan Nagar (Proposed)

Extending the Blue Line branch from Vaishali towards Mohan Nagar has been discussed in planning studies. If approved and implemented, this corridor could improve metro connectivity across Ghaziabad and provide better access to commercial and residential areas. However, the extension remains proposed and is not an approved project.

Future Phase V: Yamuna Bank–Loni (Proposed)

A separate Yamuna Bank–Loni metro link has also been suggested among proposed future corridors. The proposed connection could improve public transport access for residents of Loni and surrounding areas, subject to official approval and further planning.
