Delhi Metro will commence its services at 4 am in the early morning on all its lines to facilitate the public to reach Kartavya Path to witness the Republic Day ceremony on 26 January 2024 (Friday).
Train services will be available at a headway of 30 minutes till 6 am and thereafter, the regular timetable will be followed for the rest of the day.
In addition, people having bonafide e-invitation cards/e-tickets for attending the Republic Day ceremony will be issued coupons for the production of valid government-issued photo identity cards at stations to be valid for exit from Central Secretariat and Udyog Bhawan Metro Station only to reach the Kartavya Path.
The same coupon will be valid for performing a return journey from these two stations only.
Also, the passengers with their e-invitation cards/e-tickets marked with enclosures 1 to 9 and V1 and V2 are advised to de-board at Udyog Bhawan Metro Station.
Similarly, those marked with enclosures 10 to 24 and VN are advised to de-board at Central Secretariat Metro Station.
Regular announcements will also be made inside the trains to inform passengers about the same so that they deboard at designated stations to reach their enclosures smoothly.
The cost towards these coupons (tickets) will be reimbursed to DMRC by the Ministry of Defence.
