This is going to happen for the first time in Delhi when metro trains, vehicles running on flyovers and buses on the road will run on the same pillar. This change will happen through three double-decker corridors being prepared under Delhi Metro Phase-4. According to Delhi Metro Rail Corporation, these projects will open to the public in different phases in 2026 and will provide great relief to the traffic problem of the capital.

Phase-4 Innovation: Concept of Double-Decker Viaduct

Double-decker viaduct technology is being used for the first time in DMRC’s Phase-4 expansion, where metro trains will run on the upper level and there will be a six-lane flyover on the lower deck. Normal road traffic will continue at ground level. This structure will not only save land but will also reduce the construction cost. A total of 65 kilometers of new metro lines are being laid in the three priority corridors, in which the Majlis Park-Maujpur corridor has reached the most advanced stage.

Big change in traffic from Bhajanpura to Sangam Vihar

Under the Pink Line extension, the Bhajanpura-Yamuna Vihar section on the Majlis Park-Maujpur corridor is 1.4 km long and is considered to be the most ready section so far. The metro viaduct has been completely constructed and trial runs have also been completed. The main structure of the lower flyover is ready, while the ramp construction has been expedited after permission to cut trees. As soon as this starts, the busy traffic signal of Bhajanpura will end. Whereas in the Sangam Vihar-Ambedkar Nagar section of the Aerocity-Tughlakabad corridor on the Golden Line, more than 85 percent of the pillars have been ready and deck slab casting is in progress.

Relief to South Delhi and expansion of metro network

Under the Magenta Line extension, a double-decker flyover is being built on GT Road between Azadpur to Ashok Vihar and Derawal Nagar. Here 70 percent foundation and pillar work has been completed. According to Zee Media, this flyover will pass over Azadpur vegetable market and will reduce traffic jam in areas like Derawal Nagar, Vijay Nagar and Rana Pratap Bagh. According to DMRC officials, despite the delay caused by Covid-19 and permissions, the work is progressing rapidly. With the commissioning of these corridors by 2026, Delhi’s metro network will be more than 400 kilometers long and the travel time will reduce significantly.

The Union Cabinet meeting on 24 December 2025 approved the expansion of Delhi Metro. The central government will spend Rs 12,015 crore on this project. Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnav told in the briefing that about 65 lakh people travel by Delhi Metro every day, while on festivals or special occasions the number of passengers increases to beyond 80 lakh.

New metro project will be completed in 3 years

Under this project, 13 new metro stations will be built, in which there will be 10 underground stations and 3 elevated stations. This project is expected to be completed in 3 years. Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnav said, ‘The Union Cabinet has approved Phase 5A of Delhi Metro, which will have 13 stations. A new 16 kilometer long line will be laid at a cost of Rs 12,015 crore. With this, Delhi Metro network will be more than 400 kilometers.

• 9.9 km track will be extended from Ramakrishna Ashram Marg to Indraprastha, which will cost Rs 9,570.4 crore.
• 2.3 kilometer track will extend from Aerocity to Airport Terminal-1. Its cost will be Rs 1,419.6 crore.
• Rs 1,024.8 crore will be spent to extend the 3.9 kilometer track from Tughlakabad to Kalindi Kunj.

A loan of Rs 5 thousand crore will be taken for this project.

The Central Government will give Rs 1,759 crore for the expansion of Delhi Metro, while the Delhi Government also has to give the same amount. The remaining loan of about Rs 5 thousand crore will be taken. The central government says that the metro expansion will reduce pollution and traffic in Delhi.

India’s largest metro network in Delhi

Delhi Metro is India’s largest and busiest metro system, which is operated by Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC). Delhi Metro connects the city to surrounding NCR areas, including Noida, Gurgaon, Faridabad, Ghaziabad and Bahadurgarh.

Delhi Metro is the most successful metro network in the country. There are 10 color coded lines and more than 250 metro stations on this network. These include underground and elevated stations. Apart from this, there is a museum at the Supreme Court Metro station where people can also experience running the metro.

Delhi Metro performed a feat which had never happened before. Delhi Metro is also called the heartbeat of Delhi, several lakh people travel on different lines of the metro every day. On one such line, DMRC Red Line, in which seven lakh people travel every day, trains keep running day and night. A new tunnel was dug near Pulbangash just below the running line, but the trains above were not stopped even for a moment.

Challenging space and the magic of engineering

This place was very difficult. The metro track above is resting on tall pillars. If there was even a slight disturbance while digging below, the entire track above would shake. But our engineer brothers did such magic that nothing happened. First the soil around the upper pillars was compacted. For this, 180 holes were made and by pouring strong cement in them, the soil was made like a rock, so that the ground would not settle down even after running the machine. Kept an eye on every moment. Various types of meters and machines were installed which kept telling whether the ground had sunk or the pillars had become crooked. Engineers were on duty 24 hours. The good thing is that everything was perfect.

Easy journey after completion of Phase-4

Right now one side of the tunnel has been completed, work on the other side is also going on in full swing. Senior Delhi Metro official Anuj Dayal said, “Even a one-minute interruption on the Red Line would have put lakhs of people in great trouble. We did not let that happen.” After the completion of Phase-4, Delhi’s metro network will be more than 520 kilometers long, that is, after the completion of Phase-4, it will become easier for the common man to go from home to office, market, school.

Delhi Metro Timings Changed: Delhi Metro is the largest metro rail service in the country and this is the reason why lakhs of people rely on the metro every day whether they are traveling to their office or traveling for a long distance. The network of lines here is so spread that a large part of the city is dependent on this network from morning to night. Meanwhile, due to MCD by-elections, the schedule of Metro has changed for two days.

The movement of employees and staff related to voting should be done without any problem. For this, DMRC has decided to start the service much earlier than usual. Passengers will have to change their plans slightly for two days. Because the metro will run differently from its normal schedule these two days. Let us tell you the changed schedule.

Metro will run from 4 am these two days

According to DMRC, during the MCD by-elections, polling personnel can easily reach the metro by metro. Therefore, on 30th November and 3rd December, the metro will start much before the scheduled time. Sunday 30th November is the voting day and on this day the first metro from all the terminal stations will start running at 4 am. Usually trains are not available this early on Sundays. But this time special arrangements have been made.

The metro will run at an interval of every 30 minutes from 4 am to 6 am. So that the crowd pressure does not increase in the initial hours. After six o’clock, the operation of trains will again be on the normal Sunday timetable. That means the situation for the rest of the day will remain the same as on any normal Sunday. People associated with the by-elections will get a lot of relief and common travelers will also be able to catch the metro as soon as possible.

last train will leave at this time

Only the first metro will not run early on November 30. In fact, the last metro of the night will also depart a little later than usual. According to DMRC, the last train from all terminal stations will run at 11.30 pm, which is about 30 minutes late than usual. This means that employees returning from election duty or passengers traveling late at night will be able to reach home easily.

Not only this, there will be a change in the starting timing on 3rd December also. Because the results of the by-elections will be declared on this day. Even on the day of results, the metro will start running from 4 am. On both these days, DMRC’s focus will be to ensure that people engaged in work related to voting and counting do not face any problem in commuting and other passengers also do not face any problem.
