The 12.64-km section, part of the metro’s upcoming Botanical Garden-Janakpuri West (Magenta) Line, was granted safety approval by the Commissioner for Metro Rail Safety (CMRS), in November 2017. Metro’s new generation trains, which can run without drivers, will run on this section where an advanced Communication-based Train Control (CBTC) signalling technology that will facilitate movement of trains with a frequency of 90 to 100 seconds, will also be pressed into service. However, for an initial period of two-three years the trains will have drivers.

Currently, for travelling to south Delhi areas, commuters from Noida have to change trains, from the Blue Line to the Violet Line, at Mandi House Metro Station. After the new section of the Delhi Metro is opened, commuters will be able to travel directly to Kalkaji Mandir Metro Station, which is on the Violet Line, cutting travel time by about 45 minutes.
Once the entire corridor, from Botanical Garden till Janakpuri West (38.23 kms) is opened, commuters from Noida will be able to go to Gurugram by changing trains at Hauz Khas. The Botanical Garden has been developed as the metro’s first ever interchange station, outside the boundaries of Delhi.
