The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) will extend its timings by 30-45 minutes on days that day-night IPL T20 matches are scheduled in the city.

Seven matches are scheduled to be held in Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium (Ferozshah Kotla Ground) over the next month and a half.

“In view of the IPL T20 matches which are scheduled as day-night fixtures at Arun Jaitley Stadium (Ferozshah Kotla Ground), which is adjacent to the Delhi Gate Metro station on the Violet Line (Kashmere Gate to Raja Nahar Singh line), DMRC will be extending its last train timings by about 30-45 minutes on all lines (except Airport Line) to enable spectators to reach their destination smoothly. These days are April 4, 11, 20, 29, and May 6 and 13,” the DMRC said.

The metro rail corporation said the additional train trips beyond normal timings are planned in such a way that they will provide connecting service to all directions from interchange stations of Rajiv Chowk, Mandi House, Kashmere Gate, Kirti Nagar, Inderlok and Lajpat Nagar. Additional staff, token vending machines and pre-vended token counters will also be deployed at Delhi Gate metro station to handle passengers on these days.
