Trial run for Delhi Metro on new Magenta Line to IGI Airport

The Delhi Metro has set off the trial run process on its 13-km-long Janakpuri West to IGI Airport Terminal 1D, on its upcoming Magenta Line. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has started the process by unloading the train coaches on the tracks. The first two coaches of the six-coach train were unloaded at the Sadar Bazar Metro station in Delhi Cantt and lowered near the ramp through a carefully planned operation, as per reports.

In this part, the Metro goes from elevated to underground. The coaches were positioned on the tracks with the help of special high capacity cranes and trailers. To unload the train in such a section without depot connectivity, DMRC had to choose a specific location, where there is no requirement to lift the coaches too high. The process needed absolute precision to avoid any physical damage to the coaches or the civil structure. As per reports, the remaining four coaches of the train will be positioned on the tracks in the next few days. The trial runs will then start on this approximately 13-km-long section. The section is part of the 38.23-km Janakpuri West to Botanical Garden (Magenta Line) that has 25 metro stations. The trial run on its elevated section from Kalkaji Mandir to Botanical Garden started in October.
