The Delhi Airport Express Metro line will have six stations : New Delhi, Shivaji stadium , Dhaula Kuan , Delhi Aerocity or NH8, IGI Airport and Dwarka sector 21. Dhaula Kuan and the NH8 stations , however , are not going to be opened any time soon . Said an official , "S ince there's little development along the NH8, we don't expect too many passengers from this station . Fire clearance however , has been taken for the station while the Dhaula Kuan station is still undergoing some civil work ."
Unlike any taxi service, your Metro ride to Indira Gandhi International airport will not pinch your pocket. The cost of the fastest mode of travel to the airport - Airport express line Metro - will be less than half of the previously announced fare. According to the new fare structure, the lowest fare will be R20. For the distance from New Delhi station to IGI airport, the cost will be R80.
The ride from the New Delhi metro station , located adjacent to the Ajmeri Gate side of the New Delhi Railway station , to the IGI airport will be completed in around 20 minutes at a speed of 105kmph . While the checked-in baggage will be sent via a separate channel , passengers will travel through a lounge to enter T3 of the IGI airport . The trains will be climate-controlled and will have specialized front facing seats as well as ample space for luggage.
Passengers can avail of the check-in facility at three stations - New Delhi, Shivaji and Dhaula Kuan . The first two will also do baggage check-in . However , with only Air India at present on board , check-in at the Metro stations is still being sorted out by DAMEPL. The 22km line will be traversed in minutes with the new Metro line , especially with two stations being out of commission at the moment . For passengers , the USP of the Airport Metro is the drop-down points at the New Delhi metro station as well as the multi-level parking that would be available later .
