Planned extensions

Dwarka Sector 9 - Sector 22, 2.5 km

Several extensions of Line 3 are envisioned. Since the line has extended to the satellite city of Noida, the Uttar Pradesh government has expressed interest in extending the network further into the city of Noida.^[5] It has also shown interest in a metro connection to the proposed new airport in Jewar near Greater Noida.^[6] The other part of the eastern extension of this line which will go to Vaishali in Ghaziabad is also proposed to be extended further East to connect more areas in Ghaziabad to the network.^{[citation needed]}
