The Noida Metro Aqua Line is the fully elevated 29.7 km metro line with 21 stations connecting Noida and Greater Noida in Uttar Pradesh, India, built by the Noida Metro Rail Corporation with Delhi Metro Rail Corporation as turnkey consultant, with construction begun in 2014 to 2015 and commercial service opened on 25 January 2019. Railway Technology lists its estimated investment as 55.03 billion rupees, and Wikipedia says the corridor was completed at a cost of 5,503 crore rupees according to the corporation.

Reported project cost

INR 55.03 billion

Approximately $781.45 million

Cost basis: 2019

The sprawling but increasing density of the south-east suburb of Noida. Noida is growing rapidly as people either leave Delhi proper for more space or simply add to the population of one of the world's biggest cities. And that will likely only accelerate once the Delhi Metro line link gets completed next year. It is amazing the contrast from the shots of Old Delhi just before.
