Delhi’s chief minister Rekha Gupta reviewed the ongoing construction at the RK Ashram Marg Metro station under phase-4 of the Delhi Metro project on Saturday, officials said.

She directed officials to follow timelines, maintain construction quality and ensure safety standards.

According to officials, the station is being developed as a key interchange hub linking the Blue Line and the Magenta Line. It forms part of the 28.92 km Janakpuri West–RK Ashram Marg corridor. Work on some sections, including Janakpuri West–Krishna Park Extension and Deepali Chowk–Majlis Park, was completed and opened, while remaining stretches are under construction.

“The Delhi Metro is the lifeline of the Capital, and strict timelines, quality and safety are non-negotiable,” Gupta said during the inspection.

She discussed the project progress with DMRC officials and directed measures to improve passenger amenities while ensuring minimal disruption to the public.

A significant portion of the project involves nearly 7 km of twin tunnels and six underground stations including Derawal Nagar, Ghanta Ghar, Pulbangash, Sadar Bazar, Nabi Karim and RK Ashram Marg. Authorities said tunnelling beneath railway lines near Sabzi Mandi and structures such as the Rani Jhansi flyover has been completed using specialised techniques.

The Magenta Line is planned to be extended from RK Ashram Marg to Inderlok via Indraprastha, covering about 21.8 km. Once completed, the Botanical Garden–Inderlok corridor will span around 88.4 km with 65 stations.
