Delhi Metro Phase V-B Adds 97 km And 65 Stations

12 May 2026 CW Team

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has unveiled a Phase V-B expansion plan that will add 97 km to the metro network across seven new corridors and 65 stations. The programme seeks to extend rapid transit reach across the capital region and improve interchange options with existing lines. DMRC described the project as a major augmentation of urban mobility infrastructure. The plan is presented as a continuation of earlier phases of network development.

Seven corridors span a mix of elevated and underground alignments designed to link residential, commercial and industrial zones. The addition of 65 stations will create new access points and reduce first and last mile gaps for commuters. Design work and detailed project reports were cited as part of the planning process. Authorities indicated that coordination with municipal agencies will be integral to land acquisition and integration of feeder services.

Planners said the expanded network would ease congestion on arterial corridors and provide more direct journeys for many commuters. Interchanges with existing lines are planned to enhance network resilience and distribute passenger flows more evenly. Construction timelines and funding models were not detailed in the summary material supplied with the announcement. Project management will include phased commissioning to limit disruption to current services.

The Phase V-B proposal adds substantial network capacity and follows previous stages of metro expansion across the region. Stakeholders will monitor delivery milestones and operational readiness as the project moves through approvals and implementation. The announcement underscores continued investment in public transport infrastructure to support urban growth and connectivity. Further technical and financial details are to be published by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation in due course.
