Delhi Metro Phase 4 is being developed across three priority corridors: Janakpuri West–RK Ashram Marg, Tughlakabad–Aerocity and Majlis Park–Maujpur. Together, these corridors will improve connectivity across outer, north, north-east, central and south Delhi, while adding links to areas with limited Metro access. (AI image)
Delhi Metro Phase 4 work gains pace; here’s how the three corridors will connect key parts of the capital and cut travel time
The 29-km Janakpuri West–RK Ashram Marg corridor will connect Peeragarhi, Mangolpuri, West Enclave, Madhuban Chowk, Prashant Vihar and Haiderpur Badli Mor with Majlis Park, Azadpur and RK Ashram Marg. (AI image) The approximately 23-km Tughlakabad–Aerocity corridor, also known as the Golden Line, will connect south Delhi with Aerocity. Key stations include Tughlakabad, Saket G Block, Khanpur, Chhatarpur and Mehrauli. (AI image) The nearly 7-km Majlis Park–Maujpur extension will strengthen the Pink Line’s ring connectivity. It will improve Metro access for areas in north and north-east Delhi, including Burari, Jharoda and Wazirabad. (AI image) According to the copy, journeys that currently take around 1.5 to two hours could take about 30 to 40 minutes by Metro on relevant routes.
Commuters from Mangolpuri, Burari and Wazirabad are expected to benefit. (AI image) The copy highlights last-mile connectivity, long walks at interchange stations and crowd management as key challenges. E-rickshaws and feeder buses will remain important, while adequate escalators, entry-exit gates and moving walkways could help passenger movement. (AI image) The expansion is expected to benefit students travelling from Burari and Mangolpuri, working professionals travelling towards employment hubs and Aerocity, and women commuters who could benefit from improved Metro and last-mile connectivity.
