On record
The Aqua Line, originally slated for May 2017 (then April 2018), did not open until January 2019. Its planned extension then stalled further: tenders were floated and cancelled three times between June 2020 and February 2021 due to poor contractor response.
The official record states: "Officials cited delay "due to financial viability" and said a PPP model would be explored instead."
“Two years late to open, then three cancelled tenders for the extension. The line has a pattern.”— Blunderlust Editorial Desk

“Two years late to open, and then three cancelled tenders for the extension because no contractor wanted the job.”
“Rode from Sector 51 to the depot and got out where the extension was supposed to begin in 2020.”
“Officials now say financial viability, then say PPP, which in Noida means another few years of nothing at Sector 142.”
