Singh made the comments at an event to mark the installation of the first 'U-girder'--horizontal segments on which metro tracks are laid on elevated sections-- of this upcoming corridor.
Singh expressed hope that in view of the "fast pace" of construction, it "should be possible" to open this section for the public a few months before the schedule.
"Generally, the casting of the U girders takes at least six months. However, the same was achieved within a period of four months facilitating the installation work within such a short time," DMRC chief spokesperson Anuj Dayal said.
