Construction has officially started on the Inderlok–Indraprastha metro corridor, one of the key expansion projects under the Delhi Metro network. The new 12.377-km underground route is expected to significantly improve public transportation in the heart of the national capital.
10 Underground Stations Planned
The new corridor will include 10 underground stations, providing better access to several densely populated residential, commercial, and institutional areas in Central Delhi.
Once completed, the route will offer improved connectivity while easing congestion on existing transport corridors.
Direct Links to Seven Metro Lines
One of the project's biggest advantages is its integration with seven existing Delhi Metro lines through multiple interchange stations.
This will enable commuters to travel across the city with fewer transfers, reducing travel time and making journeys more convenient.
Driverless Underground Corridor
The Inderlok–Indraprastha stretch is being developed as a fully underground, driverless metro corridor equipped with modern signalling and operational systems.
The project forms part of Delhi Metro's long-term expansion strategy aimed at improving urban mobility while supporting sustainable public transport.
Boost for Public Transport
Officials believe the new corridor will benefit thousands of daily commuters by improving access to business districts, educational institutions, government offices, and railway stations.
The expansion is also expected to encourage greater use of public transport, helping reduce road congestion and vehicle emissions across the city.
