Cricket fever has officially taken over the national capital as the Delhi Capitals prepare to host the Gujarat Titans today, April 8, 2026. To accommodate the massive influx of fans and ensure a hassle-free commute, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has announced a significant extension of last-train timings across all operational lines. This move aims to prevent post-match chaos and provide a safe, reliable travel alternative for thousands of spectators exiting the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
The DMRC officials confirmed that the revised schedule is designed to alleviate the pressure on road transport and private vehicles, which typically leads to heavy congestion in Central Delhi during late-night match hours. By pushing the final departures into the early hours of Thursday morning, authorities hope to facilitate a smooth dispersal of the crowd, prioritizing passenger safety and convenience over the usual midnight shutdown.
Revised Timings for Major Lines
Fans are encouraged to note the significant jumps in departure times, particularly on lines serving major residential hubs and interchange points.
| Line | Route | Normal Last Train | Revised Last Train |
| Yellow Line | Samaypur Badli → Millennium City Centre | 23:00 | 00:20 |
| Blue Line | Vaishali → Dwarka Sec-21 | 23:00 | 00:00 |
| Violet Line | Kashmere Gate → Raja Nahar Singh | 23:00 | 00:25 |
| Pink Line | Majlis Park (-) | 22:40 | 00:12 |
| Green Line | Kirti Nagar → Brig. Hoshiar Singh | 23:00 | 01:00 |
| Airport Exp | New Delhi → Yashobhoomi Sec-25 | 23:40 | 01:00 |
Commuter Advisory
While the schedule has been pre-planned, the DMRC has hinted that timings may be subject to minor further adjustments depending on the actual conclusion of the match, especially if the game heads into a Super Over or suffers rain delays. Passengers are advised to use the DMRC Momentum 2.0 app for real-time updates and to prepare for extra security and crowd-control measures at the Delhi Gate and ITO metro stations, which are nearest to the stadium.
