Delhi Metro is set to revolutionize airport connectivity with an ambitious plan to extend the new Silver Line, currently under construction in Phase 4, all the way to Terminal-1 of the Indira Gandhi International Airport. 🏙️✈️

Here’s why this extension is a game-changer! 🎯

1. Seamless Connectivity 🚆:

  • The proposed extension aims to directly connect all three terminals of the airport with different metro lines.
  • Passengers traveling to and from the airport will experience unprecedented convenience.

2. Project Proposal 📄:

  • The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has submitted a proposal to the Delhi government.
  • A detailed project report (DPR) has also been prepared.

 

3. The Silver Line’s Importance 🥇:

  • Extending the Silver Line will significantly enhance the connectivity of Phase 3’s Magenta Line.
  • Currently, passenger traffic on this line falls short of expectations.

4. Three Terminals, One Metro Line 🔄:

  • Indira Gandhi International Airport has three terminals.
  • Terminal-3 is already directly connected to the Airport Express Line (Orange Line).
  • To reach Terminal-1, passengers have to transfer at the Aerocity station.
  • This extension will unite all terminals, eliminating the need for transfers.

 

5. Phase-4’s Silver Line 🚄:

  • Phase-4 includes a new metro line known as the Silver Line, connecting Tughlakabad to Aerocity.
  • Initially, it was designed to terminate at Aerocity.
  • However, it’s now planned to extend this line further to Terminal-1 for enhanced connectivity.

6. Underground Corridor 🌟:

  • The proposed extension involves a 2.26 km underground corridor from Aerocity to Terminal-1.
  • Terminal-1 already has an underground station for the Magenta Line.
  • The Silver Line will establish another underground interchange station at Terminal-1.

 

7. Future-Proofing 🏗️:

  • This extension will be a game-changer for passengers traveling to and from Terminal-1.
  • With government approval, this new interchange station is expected to be operational by 2025.

The Delhi Metro continues to evolve and expand, offering commuters even greater convenience and connectivity. This ambitious project promises to make airport travel a breeze for Delhi residents and visitors alike. Stay tuned for more updates as this exciting development unfolds! 🌐🚝✨ #DelhiMetro #AirportConnectivity #SilverLineExtension
