Delhi Metro Hits Record Height at Haiderpur

The Delhi Metro has set a new height record with the construction of its highest-ever point near Haiderpur Badli Mor, surpassing the Pink Line’s previous 23.6m mark at Dhaula Kuan.

“A 490-metre stretch on the Phase-IV Magenta Line Extension has been built at a height of 28.362 metres,” said the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC).

Construction was carried out in phases with alternative support systems due to space constraints. The second-highest elevated section, a 52.28-metre steel span at 27.61 metres, was also completed.

To avoid disruptions, work was conducted during non-operational hours at night.

"This ensured that regular passenger services remained unaffected," said DMRC’s Principal Executive Director Anuj Dayal.
