Delhi Metro
The Delhi Metro has emerged as the fastest, safest, and most convenient mode of transportation in India's capital, Delhi, and its surrounding regions. Launched on December 24, 2002, it is the country's first modern metro service. Today, the Delhi Metro network serves millions of passengers daily, efficiently connecting them to their destinations.
Operated by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), the system was conceptualised in 1995, and construction began in 1998. Currently, the network extends beyond Delhi to its satellite cities such as Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram, Faridabad, and Bahadurgarh.
The Delhi Metro comprises over 10 colour-coded corridors, such as the Red Line, Blue Line, Yellow Line, Green Line, Violet Line, Pink Line, Magenta Line, Grey Line, and the Airport Express Line.
Construction of the Delhi Metro began in 1998. The first elevated train on the Red Line operated between Shahdara and Tis Hazari on December 25, 2002, while the first underground train on the Yellow Line ran between Vishwavidyalaya and Kashmere Gate on December 20, 2004. The metro’s expansion has been executed in various phases. The first phase, comprising three lines, was completed by 2006, and the second phase concluded in 2011. The third phase was completed by the end of 2022. Construction for the fourth phase officially began on December 30, 2019. Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the first section of Delhi Metro's Phase-4 on January 5, 2025.
