The Airport Express, the Aqua Line (Noida Metro), Rapid Metro Gurugram and the Namo Bharat each have their own fares and tickets, so a trip that uses them costs more than the Delhi Metro fare shown.

Good to know

  • Changing lines at a big interchange such as Rajiv Chowk, Kashmere Gate or Hauz Khas can mean five to ten minutes of walking and stairs, more with a pram or luggage.
  • Between Noida Sector 52 (Blue Line) and Noida Sector 51 (Aqua Line) you leave one station and walk across. You need a new ticket for the Aqua Line.
  • The Airport Express runs from New Delhi through Shivaji Stadium, Dhaula Kuan and Aerocity to the airport, then on to Dwarka Sector 21 and Yashobhoomi. It has its own fares and gates.
  • On Delhi Metro the first coach in the direction of travel is for women.

Questions

Is the fare exact?

Close, but not guaranteed. We measure the route between stations on the map, which can come out a little shorter than the track. When a trip is near the edge of a distance band we say so and give both fares. DMRC's own journey planner and the ticket machines give the exact fare.

How is the time worked out?

From the distance and the usual speed of each line, plus a few minutes for each change and for the first train to come. Trains are slower in the morning and evening rush, so allow extra time then.

Does it include lines still being built?

No. Only open stations are used. Stations on lines still being built show in the search, marked "being built", so you know they are not running yet.

Can I plan a trip to the airport?

Yes. Terminal 1 is on the Magenta Line. Terminals 2 and 3 are on the Airport Express (the station is called IGI Airport). The planner picks whichever is quicker from where you start.
