- The security of the Red Line is handled by the Central Industrial Security Force, a paramilitary force.

The corridor is to be completed in 4 years from the date of approval. Under this project, the Shaheed Sthal (New Bus Adda)-Rithala Red Line corridor will be extended. This 26.463 km long line will have 21 elevated stations, which will connect Rithala in Delhi to Nathupur. These mainly include Narela, Bawana, Rohini Sector and Kundli.

There is no single-station interchange between the Red Line and the Blue Line. Passengers can use one of the following two-step routes depending on the desired destination:
- Via Yellow Line (central route):
Take the Red Line to Kashmere Gate, change to the Yellow Line, travel to Rajiv Chowk, and then change to the Blue Line.
- Via Green Line (west route):
Take the Red Line to Inderlok, change to the Green Line, travel to Kirti Nagar, and then change to the Blue Line.
- Via Pink Line (multiple options):
Take the Red Line to Netaji Subhash Place or Welcome, change to the Pink Line, then transfer at an appropriate interchange (for example Rajouri Garden, Karkarduma, Anand Vihar, or Mayur Vihar Phase I) to reach the Blue Line station closest to the final destination.
Tip: Choose the route based on the final destination — Rajiv Chowk is best for central Delhi (Connaught Place), Kirti Nagar for western destinations, and the Pink Line options for eastern targets.
