The Magenta Line is a metro rail line of the Delhi Metro, a rapid transit system in Delhi, India and the first driverless metro in India. The line, which trundles across South Delhi and is majorly underground, spans 37.46 kilometers (23.28 mi) and consists of 25 metro stations: 10 are elevated and the rest are underground.[1] Unlike the Airport Metro Express, this line directly serves Terminal 1 of the Indira Gandhi International Airport.

The Janakpuri West metro station on the line contains India's tallest escalator with a vertical height of 15.6 metres.[2] The Magenta Line has interchanges with the Yellow Line at Hauz Khas, Blue Line at Janakpuri West and Botanical Garden and the Violet Line at Kalkaji Mandir of the Delhi Metro network.

Shankar Vihar metro station is unique within the network as it is the only station where civilian movement is restricted by the military. Located within the Delhi Cantonment, it primarily serves defence personnel due to its position in the heart of the defence zone.[3] The Hauz Khas metro station on this line is the deepest metro station in the network at a depth of 29 metres.[4]

For the first time in India, the construction of two parallel tunnels was successfully completed concurrently at the Dabri Mor–Janakpuri South station.[5]: 71 

History

The line was initially scheduled for completion in December 2016, but the timeline was extended due to challenging tunnelling conditions. Trial runs began in August 2017. The line was inaugurated in two phases: the first section, from Botanical Garden to Kalkaji Mandir, was opened to the public on December 25, 2017.[6] The second phase was inaugurated on May 28, 2018, with the remaining section becoming operational and open for public use on May 29, 2018 at 06:00 IST.[7]

Extension history

A stretch of 8.679 km, comprising 9 stations on the Botanical Garden–Kalkaji Mandir section, was opened to the public on 25 December 2017. The remaining portion of the line became operational on 28 May 2018.[8]

Total Botanical Garden – Janakpuri West 37.46 kilometers (23.28 mi) 25

Phase 4

In addition to Kalindi Kunj depot, the Magenta Line will have a new depot at Mangolpuri. Under this phase, the line will be further extended from Janakpuri West to Ramakrishna Ashram Marg, providing interchanges with Green, Red, Yellow, Pink and Blue lines, and improving connectivity in the northern parts of Delhi. The extension is expected to be completed by March 2026.[9]
