New Delhi (Metro Rail News): On July 1, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) announced that as part of Phase 4, the Tughlakabad Metro Station will be developed as an interchange station between the Golden Line (Tughlakabad-Aerocity) and the Violet Line (Kashmere Gate-Raja Nahar Singh). This development will facilitate a smooth transition for commuters travelling on both lines, enhancing connectivity and easing travel for passengers.
Tughlakabad Station’s features
As per DMRC, the existing Tughlakabad Metro Station is being elevated. Additionally, plans are underway to construct a new underground station. These two stations will be connected by a 45-metre-long subway to ensure seamless integration and transitions for commuters between the elevated and underground sections.
The design of the new station incorporates a four-level structure, including an underground floor that will serve as a parking zone with a capacity to accommodate 250 vehicles. Commuters from both the Golden and Violet Lines will have direct access to this floor via lifts, stairs, and escalators, enhancing convenience and accessibility at the station.
Tughlakabad Metro Station will be the first interchange facility in the Delhi Metro network to feature underground parking.
Currently, to access the domestic and international airport terminals, commuters on the Violet Line have to go to the Central Secretariat station and then transfer to the Airport Express Line.
The opening of the new line will save time for passengers from Faridabad in Haryana. They can disembark at the interchange station and proceed directly to the airport.
