New Delhi, Mar 6 (PTI) The Union cabinet is likely to take up Thursday the case of proposed Delhi Metro Phase-IV for approval, sources said on Wednesday.
In December, the AAP government had granted conditional approval to Metro Phase-IV of the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation.

"The Union Cabinet will take up the approval of Metro Phase-IV in its meeting on Thursday," government sources said.
Among the projects chosen under the phase-IV are: Rithala-Bawana-Narela (21.73 km, elevated), Janakpuri West-RK Ashram (28.92 km, 21.18-km elevated ), Mukundpur-Maujpur (12.54 km, elevated), Inderlok-Indraprastha (12.58 km, underground), Aero City-Tughlakabad (20.2 km, 5.58-km elevated), Lajpat Nagar-Saket G Block (7.96 km, 5.89-km elevated).
