The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has decided to extend the last train timings on Tuesday by 30-45 minutes on all its lines by providing an additional 48 trips to facilitate the movement of the spectators of the one-day international cricket match between India and South Africa, which will be held at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Ferozshah Kotla, said a senior official.
The metro stations closest to the stadium are the Delhi Gate metro station and the ITO metro station – both on the Violet Line.
“In anticipation of the sudden rush expected at these nearby metro stations after the match is over, the Delhi Metro will be performing extra train trips (around 48) by extending its last train timings by about 30-45 minutes on all Lines. This will enable spectators to reach their destinations smoothly by using the Metro,” said Anuj Dayal, principal executive director, corporate communication, DMRC.

On Tuesday night, it will depart at midnight from Kashmere Gate and at 10.55pm from Raja Nahar Singh metro station.
