The Delhi Metro continues to expand its network to make commuting smoother and faster for millions of people. One of its most ambitious projects under Phase IV is the Pink Line Extension — a crucial link that will complete the city’s first-ever circular metro route. This blog explains the route, stations, benefits, and expected launch date of the Pink Line Extension.
The Pink Line currently runs between Majlis Park and Shiv Vihar, spanning around 59 kilometers with 38 operational stations. The new Majlis Park to Maujpur extension adds about 12.3 kilometers to the existing corridor. This project is part of Delhi Metro’s Phase IV expansion and will close the loop to create a complete “Ring Metro” for the city.
The Pink Line Extension will feature eight new elevated stations designed to serve densely populated areas in North and Northeast Delhi. These stations are:
Burari
Jharoda Majra
Jagatpur Village
Soorghat
Sonia Vihar
Khajuri Khas
Bhajanpura
Yamuna Vihar
Each station is being equipped with modern passenger amenities, better interchanges, and easy access for differently-abled commuters.
Double-Decker Viaduct: Between Bhajanpura and Yamuna Vihar, a unique double-decker structure is being built with the metro tracks above and a road flyover below. This space-efficient design helps manage the heavy traffic in these areas.
Yamuna Bridge: The extension includes a bridge over the Yamuna River to connect North and Northeast Delhi more effectively.
Driverless-Ready Technology: The Pink Line already operates semi-automated trains and is moving towards full driverless operations. The new stretch will follow the same standards.
With the Majlis Park–Maujpur link complete, the Pink Line becomes a circular corridor, allowing seamless travel across North, East, South, and West Delhi without multiple interchanges.
Commuters will save time and money as the extension reduces the number of transfers between lines. Direct connectivity means shorter routes and potentially lower fares.
The new stations bring metro access to localities such as Burari, Sonia Vihar, and Bhajanpura — areas that previously lacked high-capacity public transport.
By encouraging more people to switch from private vehicles to metro trains, the extension will help reduce road congestion and cut vehicular emissions in some of Delhi’s busiest corridors.
The stations and trains on the extended stretch will feature upgraded facilities, improved safety systems, and better crowd management.
Like many large infrastructure projects, the Pink Line Extension faced issues such as land acquisition, permissions for elevated structures, and construction in densely populated neighborhoods. Despite these challenges, civil work is nearing completion and trial runs have started on some sections.
The Majlis Park–Maujpur Pink Line Extension is in its final stages as of mid-2025. Authorities have indicated that the corridor is likely to open for public use around September 2025, marking a significant milestone for Delhi Metro.
Once operational, the Pink Line Extension will transform how people travel across Delhi:
Faster journeys between North, East, South, and West Delhi.
Easier access for commuters from areas like Burari, Sonia Vihar, and Bhajanpura.
Fewer interchanges and more direct connectivity to hubs like INA, Lajpat Nagar, and Mayur Vihar.
This will especially benefit professionals, students, and daily wage workers who depend on reliable and affordable public transport.
The Delhi Metro’s Pink Line Extension is more than just an addition to the network — it’s a game changer for urban mobility in the capital. By completing the “Ring Metro,” reducing travel times, and expanding access to underserved areas, the extension promises to make commuting in Delhi faster, greener, and more efficient.
