Delhi Metro Map and Updated Details
Read in Hindi
The Delhi
Metro is a rapid transit system serving Delhi and its satellite cities of
Ghaziabad, Faridabad, Gurgaon, Noida, Bahadurgarh and Ballabhgarh, in the
National Capital Region of India. It is by far the largest and busiest metro in
India, and second oldest after the Kolkata Metro. The network consists of
Eleven colour-coded regular lines serving 285 stations with a total length of
389 kilometres (242 mi). The system has a mix of underground, at-grade, and
elevated stations using both broad-gauge and standard-gauge. Delhi Metro
operates over 2,700 trips daily, starting at around 05:00 and ending at 23:30.
Construction
started in 1998, and the first elevated section (Shahdara to Tis Hazari) on the
Red Line opened in 2002. The first underground section (Vishwa Vidyalaya –
Kashmere Gate) on the Yellow Line opened in 2004. The development of the
network was divided into phases. Phase I with 3 lines was completed by 2006,
and Phase II in 2011. As of March 2020, Phase III is in the finishing stage and
scheduled to be mostly complete by the end of the year. Construction on Phase
IV was formally started on 30 December 2019. In 2010 Delhi Metro completed 10
years of operation, which was a major milestone to achieve. To mark its 10th
anniversary, Delhi Metro introduced 8 coach train for the very first time.A
commemorative souvenir book titled “Delhi Metro: A Decade of Dedication, 10
Years of Metro Operations” was also launched. An exclusive 'METRO SONG-zindagi
hai Delhi metro' composed by music director Vaibhav Saxena was also released
and played at metro stations and FM stations.
Delhi MetroRail Corporation Limited (DMRC), a company with equal equity participation from
the Government of India and the Government of Delhi, built and operates the
Delhi Metro. DMRC was certified by the United Nations in 2011 as the first
metro rail and rail-based system in the world to get carbon credits for
reducing greenhouse gas emissions, reducing carbon emission levels in the city
by 630,000 tonnes every year.
Delhi Metro
also interchanges with the Rapid Metro Gurugram (with a shared ticketing
system) and Noida Metro. On 22 October 2019, the DMRC took over the operations
of the financially troubled Rapid Metro Gurgaon.

The Delhi
Metro has been instrumental in ushering in a new era in the sphere of mass
urban transportation in India. The swanky and modern Metro system introduced
comfortable, air conditioned and eco-friendly services for the first time in
India and completely revolutionized the mass transportation scenario not only
in the National Capital Region but the entire country.
Having constructed a massive network of over 250 Km with over 200 stations in record time, the DMRC today stands out as a shining example of how a mammoth technically complex infrastructure project can be completed before time and within budgeted cost by a Government agency.
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Limited (DMRC) was registered on 3rd May 1995 under the Companies Act, 1956 with equal equity participation of the Government of the National Capital Territory of Delhi (GNCTD) and the Central Government to implement the dream of construction and operation of a world- class Mass Rapid Transport System (MRTS).
The DMRC opened its first corridor between Shahdara and Tis Hazari on 25th December, 2002. Subsequently, the first phase of construction worth 65 kilometres of Metro lines was finished two years and nine months ahead of schedule in 2005. Since then the DMRC has also completed the construction of another 125 kilometres of Metro corridors under the second phase in only four and a half years.
Presently, the Delhi Metro network consists of over 218.17 Km with 164 stations along with six more stations of the Airport Express Link. The network has now crossed the boundaries of Delhi to reach NOIDA and Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh,Gurgaon and faridabad in Haryana.
The Airport Express link between the Indira Gandhi International Airport and New Delhi has now propelled Delhi to the league of global cities which have high speed rail connectivity between the city and the airport.
The DMRC today has over 235 train sets of four, six and eight coaches. More than a hundred trains of six coach configuration and over 60 trains of eight coach configuration are currently operational.
The Delhi Metro has also contributed tremendously on the environment front by becoming the first ever railway project in the world to claim carbon credits for regenerative braking. DMRC has also been certified by the United Nations (UN) as the first Metro Rail and Rail based system in the world to get carbon Credits for reducing Green House gas emissions as it has helped to reduce pollution levels in the city by 6.3 lakh tons every year thus helping in reducing global warming.
It has also set up roof top solar power plants at many of its stations. All stations of the presently under construction corridors are being constructed as green buildings. In the present phase of Delhi Metro’s construction, the DMRC is in the process of building another 160 kilometres of Metro lines which will weave a web of Metro corridors along the city’s Ring Road besides connecting with many other localities in NOIDA, Ghaziabad and Bahadurgarh.
Apart from providing Delhites with a comfortable public transport option, the Delhi Metro is also contributing significantly towards controlling pollution as well as reducing vehicular congestion on the roads. According to a study, Delhi Metro has helped in removing over 4 lakh vehicles from the streets of Delhi.
