The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) on Tuesday inaugurated the additional interchange station at Punjabi Bagh which will connect the green line and pink line. This is for the first time that the Delhi Metro has built such a station which is connecting two operational corridors. The two lines earlier crossed each other but there was no halt in facility, and there were demands from people to provide an interchange provision at intersection, officials had earlier said. Dr Mangu Singh, Managing Director of DMRC said “The platforms for both up and down movement at this station have been built in steel and are located right above Punjabi Bagh roundabout.  The green line viaduct has been modified to install these prefabricated steel platforms. The platforms have come up between the Shivaji Park and Punjabi Bagh stations of green line.” “This is for first time that DMRC has built such a station which is connecting two operational corridors. (However, in 2010, the Chhattarpur Metro station was built with pre-fabricated steel. After completion of fabrication work, the structures were brought to site for installation on giant trailers),” he said.

“There will be boarding and deboarding facilities available on this station and as a result of which passengers desirous of interchanging trains between green line and pink line will be able to use facility,” he said. The new platforms are 155 metres in length and are connected with FOB by two extra-large lifts (each platform) with capacity of 26 passengers each as well as staircases.
