Phase 3 Introduction:
Delhi Metro currently has 190 km of operational network and is being built in a phase-wise manner with Phase-I ending in 2005-06, Phase-II ending in 2010-11, Phase-III ending in 2015-16, Phase-IV ending in 2020-21, and possibly one or more phases after this.
Phase-I consisted of 65 km of lines
Phase-II consisted of 125 km of lines.
Phase-III is proposed to add 147 km more to the network.
The sections proposed to be built under Phase-III are:
(A) Extension of existing lines
1. Yellow Line extn (Jahangirpuri - Badli) = 4.5 km (within Delhi)
2. Blue Line branch (Dwarka Mor - Najafgarh)= 5 km (within Delhi)
3. Violet Line extn (Central Secretariat - Kashmere Gate) = 9.4 km (within Delhi)
4. Violet Line extn (Badarpur - Faridabad) = 13.9 km (in Faridabad)
5. Airport line extn (Dwarka Sec 21 - HUDA City Centre) = 14 km (4 km in Delhi, rest in Gurgaon)
6. Red Line extn (Dilshad Garden - Mohan Nagar) = 7.5 km (in Ghaziabad)
(B) New lines
1. Ring Road Line / Line 7 (Mukundpur - Yamuna Vihar) = 55.7 km (within Delhi)
2. Outer Ring Road Line / Line 8 (Janakpuri West - Kalindi Kunj - Botanical Garden)= 37.3 km (within Delhi, except 2 stations in Noida)
Apart from these lines, Rapid Metro Rail Gurgaon (5 km) is under construction.
Noida authority has also proposed a metro network of 86 km in Noida and Greater Noida (including the 3.76 km Kalindi Kunj - Botanical Garden section of ORR line).

Delhi Metro Project Background
The first train rolled down the tracks of Line 1 in 2002. In 2006 when the first phase of construction ended, the Delhi metro consisted of 3 lines, 59 stations totaling 65 kms.
The Delhi Metro was expanded at a war footing pace in all directions during Phase II of the project. After construction on Phase II ended in September 2010, it was able to boast of being the fastest metro system constructed in terms of kms/year added.
It took the DMRC 8 years to complete 65 kms of the Phase I works. For Phase II of the project, it doubled that number while halving the time of completion. It added around 125 kms of track in just around 4 years. The 2nd phase included three new lines, an airport express line and extensions of the lines that were built in Phase I. So by the end of 2010, the Delhi metro system consisted of 7 lines, 142 stations and 190 kms of track.

Yeah the overhead Metro bridge with the TV tower in North West delhi looks amazing!
Bryan Adams had his show over here.
This is the place where the metro does a 90 degree turn crossing the almost Signal free Ring Road.
Here is a pic showing the metro,ring road and the TV tower,i made using the obvious google earth which is technically 3 years behind than the current time.

Here is another view[facing east right now] showing the 90 degree turn. and the metro going down is west bound towards Rohini.

I feel if Delhi gets a line on the ring road,be it elevated ot underground then,thats it for the remaining traffic woes and there would be literally no use of using the so many buses that ply on the ring road and plus it will also cut travel time significantly.
I wish they have one on the ring road.
here's a map showing the ring road in <<blood>> red color with the outer ring road in blue color.
The key shows the outer ring road is the road in red which is not true.

Wow, beautiful pics of Delhi Metro.
Btw, what exactly is Dwarka, and when was it created? (Sorry for my ignorance. The limits of the Delhi I lived in only consisted of areas inside the Ring Road
