Red Line History, Facts & Expansion
- The Red Line was the first line of the Delhi Metro; its Shahdara-Tis Hazari section was inaugurated by Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee on 24 December 2002 and opened to the public on 25 December 2002.
- The line is about 34.55 km long with 29 stations, running from Shaheed Sthal (New Bus Adda) in Ghaziabad to Rithala in North West Delhi.
- It is mostly elevated, with a few at-grade sections.
- Interchanges are available with the Yellow and Violet lines at Kashmere Gate, the Green Line at Inderlok, and the Pink Line at Netaji Subhash Place and Welcome.
- The Union Cabinet approved the Rithala-Narela-Nathupur (Kundli) extension in December 2024 at an estimated cost of about Rs 6,230 crore.
- Security on the Red Line is handled by the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF).
- The Red Line was originally planned and built in Phase I of the Delhi Metro (2002-2004).
- Trains on the line were upgraded from 4-coach to 6-coach and later 8-coach formations to handle rising ridership.
- Kashmere Gate on the Red Line is one of the largest interchange stations in Delhi, linking three lines and the ISBT.
- Shaheed Sthal (New Bus Adda) in Ghaziabad became the eastern terminus in March 2019, taking the line into Uttar Pradesh.
- Rithala is the western terminus and serves Rohini, one of Delhi's largest residential sub-cities.

\n- 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.
