Delhi Metro Diwali timings 2026 will change across the network on Sunday, November 8, as DMRC adjusts services for the festival. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation announced an early start on select lines and an earlier end to daily operations.
The revised schedule aims to accommodate early morning commuters. Meanwhile, it will allow passengers and metro staff to participate in evening Diwali celebrations.
Delhi Metro services to start at 6 am on three lines
Services on the Pink, Magenta and Grey lines will begin one hour earlier than usual. These services normally start at 7 am on Sundays.
However, trains will depart from their respective terminal stations at 6 am on November 8.
The revised early-start schedule covers:
- Pink Line: Majlis Park to Majlis Park/Shiv Vihar.
- Magenta Line: Botanical Garden to Krishna Park Extension and Majlis Park to Deepali Chowk.
- Grey Line: Dwarka Kakrola to Dhansa Bus Stand.
