Two Delhi Metro Stations Renamed; Names Of Seven Modified

Delhi authorities have announced the renaming of two metro stations and modifications to the names of seven other stations on the city network. The changes were approved following consultations with civic bodies and transport authorities and were described as measures to reflect local history and ease commuter navigation. Officials said the renaming and modifications form part of routine updates to station nomenclature across the system. The decision follows standard administrative procedures and legal notifications.

Transit operators will update signage, passenger information systems and route maps to reflect the revised names, with replacement of physical boards scheduled to follow the formal notification process. The metro corporation will also issue revised electronic timetables and make changes on digital apps to avoid confusion for daily travellers and visitors. Authorities indicated that updates will be coordinated to minimise disruption to services and passenger movement. Replacement of printed maps will coincide with scheduled maintenance windows.

Commuter groups and local representatives were consulted about the proposals and feedback was taken into account in the final list of modifications, according to officials. The changes are expected to affect station announcements and ticketing displays but will not alter fares or operational patterns on affected lines. Information campaigns will be launched to inform the public well in advance of implementation. A short transition period will allow operators to synchronise systems and records.

Transport planners said the exercise reflects ongoing efforts to standardise place names and incorporate cultural or historical references into public infrastructure. Experts noted that clear communication and consistent signage are essential to maintain commuter confidence and accessibility across the network. The authority advised passengers to refer to official channels for the updated station names and related travel information. Officials will monitor commuter feedback and adjust rollout plans where necessary.
