Republic Day 2024: Delhi Metro to begin services at 4am on Jan 26th

In a move to facilitate the public attending the Republic Day parade at Kartavya Path on January 26, Delhi Metro officials announced adjustments in service timings. Starting at 4 am, all metro lines will operate with a 30-minute headway until 6 am, with regular schedules resuming thereafter. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) emphasized the importance of possessing valid e-invitation cards or e-tickets, providing details on how attendees can navigate the metro stations seamlessly.

Service Details

Services during the early hours aim to accommodate attendees, with trains available every 30 minutes until 6 am. Following this, the metro will adhere to its regular timetable for the remainder of the day.


Coupon System for Republic Day Ceremony Attendees

For those in possession of bona fide e-invitation cards or e-tickets, the DMRC introduced a coupon system. These coupons will be issued upon presenting government-issued identity cards at stations and will only be valid for exits from Central Secretariat and Udyog Bhawan stations leading to Kartavya Path. The same coupon facilitates return journeys from these two stations.

Guidance for Different Enclosures

Passengers holding invitation cards marked for enclosures 1 to 9 and V1, V2 are advised to deboard at Udyog Bhawan. On the other hand, those with cards marked for enclosures 10 to 24 and VN should deboard at Central Secretariat. The DMRC assured that regular announcements inside trains will keep passengers informed, ensuring a smooth transition to their designated stations for reaching the respective enclosures.

By adhering to the provided guidelines, metro passengers can ensure a convenient journey to witness the Republic Day parade at Kartavya Path. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation's efforts underscore the commitment to facilitating public events and ensuring a seamless transportation experience for all.
