DELHI METRO: Central Secretariat Set to Become a Triple-Interchange Powerhouse

DELHI METRO: Central Secretariat Set to Become a Triple-Interchange Powerhouse

Imagine getting off a train in the heart of India’s capital, where the pulse of governance is strongest, and finding yourself at the hub of a gigantic underground system that connects every area of the city. For years, the Central Secretariat station has been a busy two-line junction, but that is set to change. This station is preparing for a large promotional campaign as part of the ambitious Delhi Metro Phase V(A). It isn’t just receiving a makeover; it’s becoming an elite “Triple-Interchange Hub,” a distinction now held only by the famed Kashmere Gate.



The New Player: Enter the Magenta Line

Currently, the Central Secretariat serves as a critical link between the Yellow Line (Samaypur Badli to Millennium City Centre) and the Violet Line (Kashmere Gate to Raja Nahar Singh). Phase V(A)’s game changer is the Magenta Line expansion.

This new corridor, which runs from RK Ashram Marg to Indraprastha, would cut through the heart of the city. By connecting this 9.9-kilometer stretch, the DMRC effectively transforms Central Secretariat into a three-way gateway. This means you may travel from the tech hubs of Noida or the residential areas of West Delhi and arrive immediately in the lap of the Central Vista without having to change stations.


Connectivity to the “Kartavya Bhawans”

One of the most interesting features of this expansion is the emphasis on Central Vista renovation. The new line is intended to provide “doorstep connectivity” to the numerous Kartavya Bhawans (new administrative buildings).

For the roughly 60,000 office-goers who traverse this zone daily, the upgrade is nothing short of a miracle. Instead of long trips from distant exits or battling heavy surface traffic near India Gate, commuters will emerge just a few steps from their office. It is an infrastructural initiative created expressly to meet the modern requirements of India’s administrative machinery.


Serving Millions of Visitors

It is not only for the bureaucrats. The Central Secretariat is the principal entry point for travelers visiting:

India Gate and War Memorial

National Museum

Kartavya Path (formerly Rajpath)

Bharat Mandapam

With approximately 200,000 visitors projected to utilize the station daily once the triple-interchange is ready, the DMRC is successfully future-proofing the city’s most popular heritage and administrative district.


Environmental Impact and Ease of Living

Beyond the convenience of shorter travel times, there is a “green” logic behind the Phase V(A) expansion. By making the metro the most viable choice for individuals working or visiting Central Delhi, the DMRC hopes to drastically reduce reliance on private vehicles.

Fewer cars on the route near the High Court and the Supreme Court equals lower levels of vehicular pollution in a city that sorely requires it. This improvement is estimated to save thousands of tons of carbon dioxide emissions, making the “Triple-Interchange” beneficial to both the environment and commuters.


Expanding the “Elite Club” of Interchanges

While the Central Secretariat is taking the focus in Phase V(A), it is part of a larger aim to make the Delhi Metro network more “web-like” rather than “hub-and-spoke.” Currently, the network includes 29 interchange stations. By the end of Phases 4 and 5(A), that figure will have risen to 46.

The Central Secretariat will join other upcoming triple-interchange behemoths such as Azadpur, Lajpat Nagar, and New Delhi, making the “commuter’s headache”—the dreaded multiple transfer—a thing of the past.


Why This Matters to You

Whether you are a daily office worker, a student, or a weekend traveler, this change implies your world in Delhi is shrinking. You are no longer bound by the “main lines.” The ability to flip between three different directions from a single place, such as Central Secretariat, allows you to navigate the NCR with surgical accuracy.
