The project, estimated at Rs. 6,230 crore, will be implemented by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Limited (DMRC), a 50:50 Special Purpose Vehicle between the Government of India (GoI) and the Government of the National Capital Territory of Delhi (GNCTD). The line will extend the existing Red Line from Shaheed Sthal (New Bus Adda) to Rithala.
