Delhi Metro Extends Last Trains Across All Lines for April 8 IPL Match

The move is meant to speed post-match dispersal, cutting road congestion.

Overview

  • DMRC, which announced the plan Tuesday, will run later last trains across every line to move crowds after Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Titans at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday.
  • Most routes will run past midnight, with notable extensions such as the Magenta Line up to 2:20 am on the Deepali Chowk route and the Airport Express Line until 1:00 am.
  • Published timetables also show late services on the Pink Line to 1:55 am and the Green Line to 1:00 am, with other corridors like Red, Yellow, Blue, Violet, and Grey pushed beyond their usual cutoffs.
  • DMRC said timings could be adjusted based on when the match ends, and riders should watch official updates and expect crowd control at busy interchange stations.
  • Delhi Police signaled possible diversions on roads near the stadium, including Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg and JLN Marg, and urged people to use the metro to avoid delays.
