The new 1.46km tunnel on the Aerocity-Tughlakabad corridor has been constructed at an average depth of approximately 27m – with a minimum depth of 15m and a maximum of 39m – making it one of Delhi Metro’s deepest tunnels.

Tunnelling on the parallel tunnel between Chhatarpur Mandir and Ignou was completed on February 25.

Earlier this month the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation also celebrated a breakthrough at the Vasant Kuni Station site.
