The Metro Rail services on the Poonamallee-Porur stretch would be operational by the end of 2025, Chief Minister M.K. Stalin said on Thursday.
In a social media post, Mr. Stalin said he had instructed officials of the Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) to accelerate the work on the remaining sections.
Once the ongoing works were completed, Chennai would set new standards in connectivity, urban mobility and public transportation, he said.
After “delays in the previous administration”, Mr. Stalin said his government took the lead in implementing Phase II, making Tamil Nadu the first State to “continue metro expansion through its own funding.”
With the recently approved Union contribution, we are expediting the works further, the Chief Minister said.
Earlier in the day, Mr. Stalin, accompanied by officials, inspected the ongoing CMRL works.
