The proposed Central Vista Project Includes an underground people mover directly connected to two Metro stations on the vista layout. A dedicated transit system connecting the 10 buildings is being built as part of the new Central Secretariat complex, itself part of the ongoing Central Vista redevelopment. A people mover is a small scale transit system mainly used to serve a small area such as airports and parks. It will be accessible from the Central Secretariat Metro station and ferry up to 20,000 people during peak hours.

3. Feasibility and accessibility
❖ It will help avoid the traffic of peak hours of a
metro city like New Delhi by keeping much of
the movement between the buildings
underground.
❖ The people mover, a 3-km-long
(approximately) underground transit facility
is initially meant to connect to two Metro
stations -- Central Secretariat and Udyog
Bhawan. However Udyog Bhawan is yet not
fixed.
❖ The people mover will connect all 10
buildings in the new Central Secretariat,
which will house 51 ministries, it will not be
connected to the new Parliament building.

4. Features
❖ The people mover will have four stations —
one for every cluster of three buildings of the
Central Secretariat.
❖ Net Proposed length: 3 Km
❖ Proposed Capacity: 20000 People/day
❖ The cluster of three buildings will be
connected to the station by a walkway with
travelators in the basement to ensure safe,
secure and seamless movement of people.
❖ The people mover will have coaches and run
on electricity just like the Metro, but the
technology it will run on is yet to be worked
out by Central Public Works Department.
