The 11.2-km-long fully-elevated Mundka-Bahadurgarh section of the Delhi Metro's Green Line will be opened for passengers from Sunday evening, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi likely to inaugurate the corridor tomorrow.

This would be the DMRC's third foray into the neighbouring state of Haryana. Metro services are already operational in Gurgaon (Yellow Line) and Faridabad (Violet Line).

The Mundka-Bahadurgarh stretch, with seven stations, would be an extension of the existing Green Line (standard-gauge tracks) from Inderlok to Mundka.

"Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the facility through a video-conference facility from the PMO on Sunday," a highly-placed source said.

Union Urban Affairs Minister Hardeep Puri and Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar will attend the function in Bahadurgarh, the source said.

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) in a statement issued today, said, "Passenger services on the City Park (Bahadurgarh)Mundka metro corridor will begin from 4 PM tomorrow."
