Delhi Metro News: Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has made some changes in the timings of Metro services for Diwali. These changes will come into effect on October 19 and 20, 2025.
As New Delhi is lit up with Diwali lights, Delhi Metro will also be in a festive mood. If you are planning to return home late this festival, be careful, as the last metro ride will leave an hour earlier. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has made special changes to its timings to accommodate the Diwali rush and festive spirit.
On the eve of Diwali, i.e. October 19 (Sunday), Metro services on Pink, Magenta and Grey lines will start at 6 am instead of 7 am, meaning people will get access to the Metro an hour earlier to facilitate festive shopping and travel.
