Changes in the Delhi metro routes and the closure of exits at a few metro stations like Central Secretariat, Patel Chowk, Rajiv Chowk, etc. have become a routine on Independence Day and Republic Day for Delhiites but this time the metro administration will work for a few extra hours to facilitate transport on January 26. Here’s what DMRC states:
Delhi Metro will commence its services at 4:00 am on all its lines to facilitate the public to reach Kartavya Path to witness the Republic Day ceremony on 26th January 2024 (Friday). Train services will be available at a headway of 30 minutes till 06:00 am and thereafter, the regular timetable will be followed for the rest of the day.

In addition, people who will be in possession of bonafide e-invitation Cards/e-Tickets for attending the Republic Day ceremony will be issued coupons for the production of valid govt. issued photo identity cards at stations to be valid for exit from the Central Secretariat and Udyog Bhawan Metro station only to reach the Kartavya Path. The same coupon will be valid for performing a return journey from these two stations only.

Also, the passengers with their e-Invitation Cards/e-Tickets marked with Enclosures 1 to 9 and V1 & V2 are advised to de-board at Udyog Bhawan Metro Station. Similarly, those marked with Enclosures 10 to 24 and VN are advised to de-board at Central Secretariat Metro Station. Regular announcements will also be made inside the trains to inform passengers about the same so that they deboard at designated stations in order to reach their enclosures smoothly.
