Delhi Aerocity metro station to emerge as major interchange hub on Airport Express Line
The Hindu
Delhi Aerocity metro station will become a key interchange hub, enhancing airport connectivity and integrating multiple metro lines.
The Delhi Aerocity metro station on the Airport Express Line is set to emerge as a major interchange hub of the city’s metro network following its planned integration with the Tughlakabad-Aerocity Golden Line corridor under Phase 4, the DMRC said on Saturday (January 31, 2026).
An approval has recently been granted for extending the Golden Line corridor from Aerocity to the Terminal 1 of Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport station, covering a stretch of about 2.26 km, said a senior DMRC official. The move aims to improve airport connectivity for commuters from south Delhi, according to the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC).
The official added that the Aerocity station has also been planned as a future triple interchange, as the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) is proposing interchange facilities there for its upcoming corridor to Alwar.
“The new Aerocity interchange will feature platform-to-platform connectivity on one side and concourse-to-concourse paid area connectivity between the Airport Express Line and the Golden Line, with the platforms expected to be located at a depth of around 22 metres,” said the official.
The Golden Line station at Aerocity will be significantly longer — about 290 metres — to accommodate interchange requirements, compared to the usual interchange station length of around 260 metres.
The official added that as per the planned alignment, the Golden Line and the proposed NCRTC corridor will cross each other diagonally, and necessary structural provisions will be incorporated in the station design to allow future integration of the NCRTC platform.
