 Delhi Metro is a rapid transit system serving Delhi and its satellite cities of Delhi,
Gurgaon, and Noida in the National Capital Region of India.
 Network consists of six lines and 253 stations.
 The power output is supplied by 25 kv,5o Hertz alternating current through
overhead catenary.
 Has a carrying capacity as high as 60,000-80,000 phpdt (peak hour peak
direction traffic).
 The metro has an average daily ridership of million of commuters.
 Delhi Metro operates over 2,700 trips daily, starting at around 05:00 and ending

 The Delhi Metro is being built in phases.
 Phase I consisted of 58 stations and 65.0 km (40.4 mi) of route length, of which
13.0 km (8.1 mi) is underground and 52.1 km (32.4 mi) surface or elevated. The
inauguration of the Dwarka-Barakhamba Road corridor of the Blue Line
marked the completion of Phase I in October 2006.
 Phase II of the network consists of 124.6 km (77.4 mi) of route length and 85
stations, and is fully completed, with the first section opened in June 2008 and
the last line opened in August 2011.
 Phase-III has 28 underground stations, 2 new lines and 11 route extensions,
totaling 167.27 km (103.94 mi), with a cost of ₹350 billion and having an
expected completion date of mid 2019.
 Phase IV (113.2 km or 70.3 mi) is planned to be completed by 2024.
 The Red Line was the first line of the Metro to be opened and
connects Rithala in the west to Shaheed Stahal in the east, covering a
distance of 34.69 kilometres (21.56 mi). It is mainly elevated.
 The Yellow Line was the second line of the Metro and was the first
underground line to be opened on the Delhi Metro. It runs for 49 kilometres
(30 mi) from north to south and connects Samaypurbadli with HUDA City
Center in Gurgaon.
 The Blue Line was the third and fourth line of the Metro to be opened and
the first to connect areas outside Delhi. Mainly elevated and partly
underground,[ it connects Dwarka Sub City in the west with the satellite city
of Noida in the east, covering a distance of 56.61 kilometres (35.18 mi).
 The Green Line is the fifth line of the Delhi Metro network and the first line on
standard gauge. It runs between Inderlok and Brigadier Hoshiyar Singh. The
completely elevated line, runs mostly along NH10. The line consists of 23
stations covering a total length of 29.64 km (18.42 mi).
 The Violet Line is the sixth line of the Metro to be opened, and the second standard-
gauge corridor after the Green Line. The 47-kilometre-long (29 mi) line
connects Raja Nahar Singh in Ballabgarh via Faridabad to Kashmere Gate in New
Delhi. with 26 km (16 mi) being overhead and the rest underground.

 The Orange Line or The Airport Express is the seventh line line runs for 22.7 km
(14.1 mi) from New Delhi Railway Station to Dwarka Sector 21, linking the Indira

 The Pink Line is the eighth line. The line is opened between Majlis Park to Mayur Vihar
Pocket I and TrilokPuri Sanjay Lake to Shiv Vihar. It consists of 38 metro stations with a
length of 58.59 kilometers (36.41 mi). Upon completion will be the longest line in Delhi
Metro It will be mostly elevated and will cover Delhi in an almost 'U' shaped pattern. The
Pink Line is also known as the Ring Road Line.
 The Magenta Line is the first new line of the Third Phase of the Delhi Metro. It
runs between Botanical Garden and Kalkaji Mandir. The total length of
the line is 38.235 km out of which 14.428 km is elevated and 23.807 km is

 The Grey Line is the shortest route in the system. The Line runs between
Najafgarh and Dwarka. It connects Dwarka to Dhansa Bus Stand in the
western part of Delhi. It will cover around 4.295 km and comprises 4 stations.
 The trains operate at a frequency of one to two minutes to five to ten minutes between 05:00 and
23:30, depending upon the peak and off-peak hours. Trains operating within the network
typically travel at speed up to 75 km/h (47 mph) and stop for about 20 seconds at each station.
 Automated station announcements are recorded in Hindi and English. Many stations have
services such as ATMs, food outlets, cafes, convenience stores and mobile recharge. Eating,
drinking, smoking and chewing gum are prohibited in the entire system. The Metro also has a
sophisticated fire alarm system for advance warning in emergencies, and fire retardant
material is used in trains as well as on the premises of stations.
 Navigation information is available on Google Maps. Since October 2010, the first coach of
every train is reserved for women. However, last coaches are also reserved when the train
changes tracks at the terminal stations in the Red, Green and Violet Lines.
 To make travelling by metro a smoother experience, Delhi Metro has launched its own official
mobile app Delhi Metro Rail for smartphone users that will provide information on various
facilities like the location of the nearest metro station,fare, parking availability, tourist spots near
metro stations, security and emergency helpline numbers.
 Over 7000 CISF personnel have been
deployed for security of metro and its
installations in addition to metal
detectors, X-Ray baggage inspection
systems, and dog squads which are
used to secure the system.

 Closed-Circuit Cameras are used to

monitor trains and stations.
 18 Delhi Metro Rail Police (A dedicated wing of
Delhi Police) stations have been established.
 Intercoms are provided in each train car for
emergency communication between the
passengers and the train operator.
 Periodic security drills are carried out at stations
and on trains to ensure preparedness of security
agencies in emergency situations.
 DMRC is also looking at raising the station walls
and railings for the safety of passengers.
 As the network has expanded, high ridership in new trains has led to
increasing instances of overcrowding and delays on the Delhi Metro. To
alleviate the problem, 8 coach trains have been introduced in Yellow
line and Blue line and an increase in the frequency of trains has been
proposed.
 Infrequent, overcrowded and erratic feeder bus services connecting
stations to nearby localities have also been reported as an area of
concern.
 The rising cost of fares have been routinely criticized, with fares being
much more expensive compared to the bus services the metro
replaced.
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is taking all necessary measures to
ensure safe travel for people amid COVID-19 pandemic. Since a large
number of people in the national capital depend on Delhi Metro for their
daily travel, the DMRC has issued a slew of rules and guidelines for the
commuters to follow.
