Full Delhi Metro Magenta Line to open for public from May 29

The portion of Delhi Metro’s Magenta Line which will connect Kalkaji Mandir to Janakpuri West will be open for public from May 29, it was announced today.

This section, comprising of 16 stations, will be the longest opened so far in Delhi Metros Phase 3.

With the opening of this stretch, the entire 38.2 kilometre long Janakpuri West-Botanical Garden Magenta corridor, covering the city’s arterial Outer Ring Road, will become operational.

The highlights of this corridor will be the two new interchange facilities that will come up at Janakpuri West (with the Dwarka-Noida/Vaishali Blue Line) and Hauz Khas (with the HUDA City Centre-Samaypur Badli Yellow line).

The 25.6-km Metro corridor will be formally flagged off by Union Minister for Housing and Urban Affairs Hardeep Singh Puri and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on May 28 at 4.30 pm from the Nehru Enclave Metro station.

The remaining portion of the line that connects Botanical Garden in Noida to Kalkaji Mandir in south Delhi was made operational in December.
