People in Delhi will soon get direct metro connectivity to the terminal 1 of the Indira Gandhi International airport. The new Magenta metro line will provide a direct connection to the domestic terminal by next March.
As per a report in the Economic Times, a new metro station will be started near the domestic terminal as part of the magenta line that will run between Janakpuri West and the Botanical Garden.
The new station, which will be built underground, will be connected to the domestic terminal through a subway. A DMRC official was quoted as saying that “the subway would have travelators so that passengers with baggage don't have to walk the distance. One exit of the subway would be near the arrival terminal while another exit would be close to the departure terminal.”
The new station will be a great aid for people from the city who find it difficult to travel between the domestic terminal and the city.
The existing Airport Express Metro line does not provide any direct connection to the domestic terminal which is used daily by 1.75 lakh passengers. Instead, commuters are left with no other choice but to take either a shuttle service from the Delhi Aerocity station or arrange private transport.
