The first phase was finished, with the construction of the Dwarka–Barakhamba corridor of the Blue Line in October 2006. This phase consisted of three segments, and required Rs 10,000 crore in funds. With 59 stations, and a length of 65.11 kilometres, 13.01 kilometres through tunnels and 52.10 kilometres on elevated tracks, this phase, which was estimated to take ten years to build, took DMRC only seven years and three months to complete.
