A new metro station will be part of the upcoming Golden Line to provide connectivity between Delhi airport’s Terminal 1 and Terminal 3, a senior official was quoted as saying by news agency PTI. Of the three terminals at Delhi airport, which is also the country’s busiest, Terminal 2 and Terminal 3 are close by, while Terminal 1 is a few kilometres away.
While speaking to news agency PTI, DIAL CEO Videh Kumar Jaipuriar stated the new integrated station is being planned to provide connectivity between Aerocity and T1.
“The Golden Line was earlier supposed to come up to the Aerocity. We have convinced the DMRC (Delhi Metro Rail Corporation) to extend it up to T1,” he told PTI. Furthermore, he added, “So, that will actually act as one of the metro lines which will connect from T1 to Aerocity and from Aerocity, we have got the airport line.”
At present, the Airport Metro Express (Orange Line) connects to T3; meanwhile, the Magenta Line links T1, though there is no direct connection between T1 and T3. According to Jaipuriar, efforts are underway to have an integrated station at Aerocity, as there is already airport metro line connectivity, and the new metro station will come up on the Golden Line.

He stated, “RRTS (Regional Railway Transport Service) is coming to the Aerocity, and even one of the APM (Automated People Mover) stations is supposed to be located there as per the current layout. So, it will be an integrated station… a multi-modal connectivity.” The Golden Line or the Tughlakabad-Aerocity corridor of Phase-IV is under development.
DIAL, the airport operator, plans to introduce an ‘air train’ to provide seamless connectivity between T1 and the other two terminals, T2 and T3. It is proposed to be an elevated cum at-grade Automated People Mover (APM) System at the airport on a design, build, finance, operate and transfer model basis.
