The platform of the new Delhi Aerocity Metro station on the Aerocity-Tughlakabad Silver Line corridor of Phase-4 will be the longest among all stations, with a length of 289 metre.
The general length of underground metro stations in Phase-4 is about 225 metre.
Its extensive length has been carefully designed to accommodate the anticipated passenger traffic since in the future this station will be a key triple interchange facility with connectivity among the Airport Express Line, the Silver Line, and the RRTS corridor to Gurugram, Manesar and Alwar.
The station will ensure seamless connectivity between Airport Express Line, the Silver Line, and the RRTS corridor.
This station will be a terminal station, which will provide direct connectivity from the city of Faridabad along with South Delhi to West Delhi and especially, the Indira Gandhi International Airport.
The construction work for this station has started and the same is being done by the bottom-up method of construction.
There will be three entry/exit points at this station, one connecting the business hub of Aerocity and the other two entry/exit structures will connect the station with NH-8 and the nearby locality of Mahipalpur through a pedestrian subway, thereby improving accessibility to the airport.
One of the key advantages of the Aerocity station is its provision of interchange with the existing high-speed airport express line and Delhi-Gurugram-Alwar RRTS corridor.
This seamless integration will enable passengers to effortlessly transfer between the Tughlakabad-Aerocity Corridor and the high-speed airport express line, providing them with enhanced connectivity options and convenience.
The Tughlakabad-Aerocity Corridor, a significant addition to the city's Metro network, aims to address the increasing transportation demands on Mehrauli-Badarpur Road, Chhattarpur Extension and Mahipal Pur area to cater the growing population of the region.
It will serve as a lifeline for commuters, reducing travel time, and offering a reliable and efficient mode of transportation. The station is expected to help residents of South Delhi, Faridabad and Noida.
