Delhi Metro Magenta Line Keshopur-Pushpanjali Section Expected to Open by 2026-End

The six-kilometer Keshopur-Pushpanjali section of the Delhi Metro Magenta Line is nearing completion, with trial runs scheduled to begin next month. According to officials, the stretch is expected to open to the public by the end of 2026.

Corridor Details and Stations

Part of the 29-kilometer Janakpuri West and RK Ashram Marg corridor, this six-kilometer section comprises six elevated stations: Keshopur, Peeragarhi, Paschim Vihar, Mangolpuri, West Enclave, and Pushpanjali.

• Peeragarhi: Designed as an interchange station to link the Magenta Line with the existing Green Line.
• Mangolpuri: Planned with three entry and exit points, the highest on this stretch.
• West Enclave: Features two entry and exit points, including an emergency exit.

Network Integration and Expansion

An official stated that civil work on the entire stretch has been fully completed and finishing touches are currently underway. Upon opening, the Magenta Line extension will establish connections with multiple existing corridors:

• Green Line at Peeragarhi
• Red Line at Pitampura
• Yellow Line at Haiderpur Badli Mor
• Pink Line at Majlis Park

This integration is part of the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation's (DMRC) Phase-IV expansion. Officials reported that the corridor will feature communication-based train control signalling and an unattended train operation system. Modern passenger amenities, including automatic fare collection gates, lifts, escalators, and platform screen doors, will be installed across all stations.

Future Projections

The Janakpuri West-RK Ashram Marg corridor consists of 22 stations, with two sections already commissioned earlier this year. Once fully operational, along with planned future additions, the Magenta Line is projected to reach a total length of 88.4 kilometers, potentially becoming the longest corridor in the DMRC network.
