Janakpuri West-Krishna line: Delhi Metro Phase 4 to open

The stretch from Janakpuri West-Krishna Park Extension spanning 2.5 km on the Janakpuri West-RK Ashram Marg under Delhi Metro's Phase 4 project is expected to be opened by the end of August. The reports state that the commissioner of Delhi Metro Railway inspected the Krishna Park station on July 30, 2024.

The managing director of DMRC, Vikas Kumar, was cited in the media reports as saying that the inspection of the new section has been completed and the authority will incorporate all recommendations suggested, expecting to open it by August-end.

The reports explain that the Janakpuri West-RK Ashram Marg is underground and has only one underground station. It will be an extension of the Magenta Line that connects Janakpuri West and Botanical Garden. The Janakpuri West-RK Ashram Marg section is expected to be completed by March 2026.

An official was quoted in a TOI report as stating that once operational, the Krishna Park Extension station will benefit neighbouring localities as commuters will not have to go to the Janakpuri West station to board the metro. The official said the station is equipped with advanced facilities, including platform screen doors for crowd management and to ensure the safety of commuters, as well as an automatic fare collection system compatible with the National Common Mobility Card (MCMC).

The reports note that the route will connect areas such as Rohini, Prashant Vihar, North Rohini Campus, Pitampura, Dilli Haat and Central Delhi. It is expected that the upcoming Delhi Metro Phase 4 expansion lines will enhance connectivity across the city as they will provide alternative routes to access these areas. The project is said to comprise three major corridors: Majlis Park to Maujpur 12.5 km, Aerocity to Tughlakabad 23.6 km, and the shortly inaugurating Janakpuri West to RK Ashram 28.9 km stretch.
