line 1 or the north-south line has a total length of serving 24 stations of which 15 are underground. it has a combination of elevated, ground-level and underground lines and uses of indian gauge, a broad gauge rolling stock. it was the first underground railway to be built in india, with the first trains running in october 1984 and the full stretch that had been initially planned was completed and operational by february 1995. on 28 december 2010, it became the 17th zone of the indian railways. the new delhi metro, which opened in 2002, is the second such urban metro rail network in india. it had benefitted from the expertise gained during the kolkata metro construction. in being the country's first metro and constructed as a completely indigenous process, the kolkata metro was more of a trial-and-error affair, in contrast to the delhi metro, which has also seen the involvement of numerous international consultants. as a result, it took nearly 23 years to completely construct a 17 km underground railway. northward extension of metro from dum dum upto dakshineshwar (6.20 km) was sanctioned and included in budget of 2010-11 at a cost of rs.227.53 cr. the work from dum dum to noapara (2.09 km) was commissioned on 10.7.2013 and construction from noapara to dakshineshwar having an interchange with line 5 at baranagar (2.38 km) is being executed by rvnl. this section is expected to open in february 2020 and the projected ridership is 55000 by 2030.
