Ismein 7 underground stations honge: Charbagh, Gautam Buddha Marg, Aminabad, Pandeyganj, City Station, KGMU Crossing, aur Nawazganj. 4 elevated stations honge: Thakurganj, Balaganj, Sarfarazganj, Musa Bagh, aur Vasant Kunj. Is project ki estimated cost Rs 5,880 crore hai, aur yeh 5 saal mein complete hone ki ummid hai. Yeh line Old City ke residents ko faida dega aur metro mein commuter traffic badhayega, jisse revenue increase hoga.
