The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) commenced construction work at the Central Secretariat Metro Station for the Central Vista Corridor on June 24, 2026. The event was attended by Union Minister of Housing & Urban Affairs and Power Manohar Lal, along with Secretary Mohua and senior officials from both Mohua and DMRC.
The Central Vista Corridor project spans 9.913 kilometers and includes nine underground stations: Shivaji Stadium, Yuge Yugeen Bharat, Central Secretariat, Kartavya Bhawan, India Gate, War Memorial–High Court, Baroda House, Bharat Mandapam, and Indraprastha. This extension is being developed under Phase V(A) as an extension of the existing Magenta Line from Janakpuri West to RK Ashram Marg.
A key feature of the project is the transformation of Central Secretariat station into a triple interchange facility, where the new Magenta Line station will seamlessly connect with the existing Yellow Line and Violet Line. This enhancement is designed to significantly benefit government employees and commuters accessing the Lutyens' Zone and surrounding administrative districts.
The project represents a major infrastructure development aimed at strengthening connectivity to central New Delhi, providing efficient access to major government offices, judicial institutions, national memorials, and convention facilities while enhancing overall network efficiency and passenger convenience.
