Chandigarh/Faridabad: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will today inaugurate the Delhi-Faridabad Metro Line that would allow hassle free travel for around two lakh daily commuters between the national capital and the industrial hub in Haryana.
"Prime Minister Modi will flag off the extension of Delhi Metro from Badarpur to Escorts Mujesar in Faridabad today," a Haryana Government spokesperson said on Saturday.
From there he would travel to Escorts Mujesar Metro station in a car and unveil a plaque and inaugurate the Metro Extension by pressing a button, the spokesperson said.

Elaborating on financial details of the Faridabad Metro, Mr Khattar said, the total cost of the project from Badarpur to Escorts Mujesar was to the tune of Rs 2,500 crore.
Haryana Governor Solanki, Khattar, Union Ministers Venkaiah Naidu, Birender Singh, Rao lnderjlt Singh, Krishan Pal, Babul Supriyo, Chairman of DMRC and others would accompany him in the inaugural ride, the spokesperson said in Chandigarh.
The Haryana government spokesperson said, "The extension of Delhi Metro from Badarpur to Escorts Mujesar will not only meet the long pending demand of about two lakh people commuting between Delhi and Faridabad every day, but also make travelling easy, save lot of time, energy and money,".
"The nine-station metro corridor which was 95 per cent indigenously built will provide people a safe, affordable, quick, comfortable, reliable, environment-friendly and sustainable transport facility," the spokesperson added.
The nine stations in this section include, Sarai, NHPC Chowk, Mewala Maharajpur, Sector?28, Badkal Mor, Old Faridabad, Neelam Chowk Ajronda, Bata Chowk and Escorts Mujesar. All these are elevated and located on either side of the Delhi-Mathura Road (NH-2), he said.
