Delhi Metro Adjusts Schedule for Holi: Key Changes You Need to Know!

The Delhi Metro will change its schedule for Holi! Trains will start running from 2:30 PM today on all lines, as announced by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC). Normally, the Metro runs from 5 AM to 11:30 PM on weekdays, while the Airport Express train operates from 4:40 AM to 11:40 PM.

This year, even the Airport Express will begin at 2:30 PM for Holi. You can find the full schedule on the DMRC website. The DMRC encourages everyone to plan their trips keeping these new times in mind. If you have any questions, you can reach out to DMRC or follow their social media for quick updates.

The DMRC also requests that passengers avoid carrying colors, water guns, or balloons, as these might upset other travelers.

In addition to Metro travel, the Delhi Traffic Police have shared advice about road congestion due to Holi celebrations and ongoing construction projects like the Airport Drain extension. Police teams will be out in full force to help keep everything safe, especially as there will be about 25,000 police and paramilitary personnel on duty. They will check for drunk driving and monitor traffic to ensure everyone can enjoy the festival safely.
