The DMRC, or Delhi Metro Rail Corporation, has initiated construction work on a new metro station at Inderlok as part of Phase 4 expansion. It aims to replace the currently operational metro station and form a commercial shopping center alongside the metro station (which will be economically beneficial because of its location). The new station will be significant for interchanges and will integrate into the new Inderlok-Indraprastha portion of the Green Line Metro.

Inderlok-Indraprastha Metro Corridor

The Inderlok–Indraprastha corridor is the most important section of the Phase-4 expansion of the Delhi Metro. This wholly elevated corridor, planned to span around 12.37 kilometers, will encompass 10 new metro stations, enhancing connectivity across western, central, and eastern regions of Delhi. Further, integration of this segment into the Green Line will enhance the public transportation infrastructure in terms of its efficiency and speed.

List of Stations on the Inderlok-Indraprastha Corridor

The corridor will include the following metro stations:

• Inderlok (New Station)
• Dayabasti
• Sarai Basti
• Azad Nagar
• New Delhi Railway Station
• New Delhi
• Delhi Gate
• IGI Stadium
• Mayur Vihar Phase-1
• Indraprastha

The DMRC has set the new Inderlok station’s construction cost at ₹117 crore and the other key details are that new station is being strategically structured closer to the old station. The tender for cabin construction has been given, suggesting DMRC is rapidly trying to complete construction.

Interchange Facilities at Key Delhi Metro Stations

The Inderlok–Indraprastha metro will complete the spider-web of Delhi metro connectivity with numerous interchanges as:

• Inderlok: interchange between the Pink Line and Green Line.
• New Delhi Railway Station: interchange with Airport Express Line and Yellow Line.
• Mayur Vihar Phase-1: interchange with Blue Line and Pink Line.
• Indraprastha: interchange with Blue Line.

This form of strategic connectivity enables a passenger to traverse the entire Delhi without needing to switch over to the road or shrug off the weather trapped in during traffic.

Why the Current Inderlok Station Will Be Shut Down

The Inderlok metro station will be dismantled after the new station becomes fully operational. A shopping complex will be constructed in its stead, as this region will boost the economic potential of the area. This comprehensive approach combines transit systems with urban planning.

Benefits of the Inderlok–Indraprastha Metro Line

This corridor is expected to:

• Enhance travel duration to the West, Central, and East Delhi areas.
• Alleviate traffic jams at major intersections.
• Offer uninterrupted transportation links to various Delhi areas.
• Enhance connectivity for commuters in the New Delhi Railway Station.
• Raise the commercial and residential activities in Dayabasti, Sarai Basti, and Mayur Vihar.

Delhi Metro Phase-4: What to Expect in 2025 and Beyond

Delhi Metro is extending into more remote places with the addition of new corridors in Phase 4, such as Rithala–Bawana–Narela and Tughlakabad–Aerocity lines. With multiple interchanges and strategically central alignment, the Inderlok–Indraprastha corridor is among the most awaited.

Conclusion

Completing the Inderlok station and Inderlok–Indraprastha corridor will further enhance DMRC’s innovative image. With the addition of this new corridor, daily commuters will be able to access extensive residential, commercial, and transit locations throughout the city.
