Delhi Metro Golden Line
The Delhi Metro Golden Line (Line 10) is a 23.62 km Phase 4 corridor from Delhi Aerocity to Tughlakabad with 15 stations, 11 underground and 4 elevated. As of October 2026 it is under construction, with civil work over 83% complete. DMRC is targeting December 2026 for the first 8.4 km section from Tughlakabad to Sangam Vihar. Fares and timings are not yet announced.
Why it matters
The Golden Line gives south Delhi its first east to west metro link, connecting Tughlakabad and the Mehrauli-Badarpur Road belt with Chhatarpur and the airport district at Aerocity. Interchanges with the Violet, Yellow and Airport Express lines let Faridabad and south-east Delhi riders reach the airport without going through central Delhi. Its 2.4 km double-decker viaduct, with road traffic below and metro above, is a first for DMRC, and later extensions will take the network to 38 km.
