Quick answers before you plan a late or early ride. For an exact time on your route, use the search above.

What time does the first Delhi Metro train run?

Most Delhi Metro lines start their first service between 5:00 and 6:00 AM on weekdays, with a few lines starting slightly later on Sundays and national holidays. The exact first-train time depends on your starting station — search a route above to see it.

What time does the last Delhi Metro train run?

Last trains typically leave terminal stations between around 10:00 PM and midnight, depending on the line and direction. Use the search above for an exact last-train time and arrival estimate on your route, or check the quick reference table for common terminal stations.

Does last train time differ by line and direction?

Yes. Last-train timings are set per line and per direction from each terminal station, so the last train from a station towards one end of a line can leave noticeably earlier or later than the last train towards the other end.

What happens if I miss the last metro?

If you miss the last train, you'll need another mode of transport such as a cab, auto-rickshaw or bus to complete your journey, since the Delhi Metro doesn't run overnight. It's worth reaching your interchange station well before the last connecting train there, since missing one leg of a multi-line journey can strand you partway.

Are last train timings different on Sundays and holidays?

Service can start later in the morning on Sundays and national holidays on some lines, and last-train timings may also shift slightly compared to weekdays. Always check the day-specific timing rather than assuming a weekday schedule applies.

How is the last train time calculated for a route with interchanges?

For a journey that involves changing lines, the last train time is worked backwards across every leg and interchange so you can still catch the final connecting train at each change. The search above returns this full leg-by-leg breakdown, not just the last train on the first line.

Can I still enter a metro station after the last train has left?

No, station entry typically closes shortly after the last train for that line has departed, since there's no further service to board. Aim to reach the station well before the last-train time rather than right at it.

Does DMRC extend metro timings on special occasions?

Yes, DMRC has extended operating hours in the past for occasions like New Year's Eve and certain festivals. These extensions are announced separately and aren't reflected in the regular schedule, so check DMRC's official announcements around such dates.
