Delhi Metro's Shortest Magenta Line Section to Open Soon

14 Jun 2024 CW Team

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is set to inaugurate the shortest section of the Magenta Line, connecting two stations over a 300-metre stretch. This new section will link the existing Kalkaji Mandir station to the upcoming Tughlakabad station, improving connectivity in South Delhi.

The construction of this section is nearly complete, with final safety checks and trials underway. Once operational, it will provide seamless travel for commuters and reduce travel time. This expansion is part of DMRC's broader efforts to enhance the efficiency and reach of the metro network.

The Magenta Line, which currently runs from Janakpuri West to Botanical Garden, plays a crucial role in connecting key areas of Delhi and Noida. The addition of the shortest section is expected to alleviate congestion and offer a more convenient option for daily travellers.

DMRC officials have emphasised the significance of this project in improving urban mobility and supporting the city?s growing public transportation needs. The new section is anticipated to be a game-changer for residents, providing a quicker and more efficient route through one of Delhi's busiest corridors.

The official launch date is yet to be announced, but authorities are optimistic about opening the section to the public soon, pending the final clearance. This development is a significant milestone in Delhi's continuous efforts to upgrade its metro infrastructure and provide world-class services to its commuters.
