According to reports, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) will check the interaction of the trains with civil structure to ensure that there is no physical blockage during its movement on the tracks.
The DMRC will also test the signaling system and other features like the response of the train at different speeds, braking and inter-connection and so on. The fully elevated 14 kilometre stretch from Badarpur to Faridabad is scheduled to formally start from June.
This will be the second line to cross the Delhi-Haryana border after the Yellow Line to Gurgaon. This extension will run fully elevated for 13.87 km and will have 9 stations.
Work on this project started on March 26, 2013. Commercial operations are hoped to begin in June, post mandatory clearance by the Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety (CMRS).
