Part of the Delhi Metro's fourth phase is set to open in August, including the 03-km stretch from Janakpuri West to RK Ashram Marg. Civil work for this section has been completed, paving the way for final safety certification and inspection before the corridor becomes operational. According to a Times Now report, the Janakpuri West portion of the new corridor will be elevated, while the Krishna Park Extension portion will be at ground level. Work on all corridors under Phase 4 is progressing at a rapid pace and the project is expected to be fully operational by March 2026.

The Delhi Metro, managed by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), is a joint venture between the Government of NCT and the Government of India. It began operations in 2002, running from Welcome station to Tis Hazari on the Red Line. As India's busiest and largest metro system, it spans nearly 350 km across 10 active lines, serving Delhi and NCR cities like Gurgaon, Noida, Faridabad, Ghaziabad, and Bahadurgarh.

The network includes underground, elevated, and ground-level platforms, with trains running up to 80 km/h. Trains have 4, 6, or 8 coaches, with a frequency of 1-4 minutes during peak hours and 5-10 minutes during non-peak hours. The Hauz Khas station on the Pink Line, 29 meters below ground, is the deepest, while the Pink and Orange Line crossing at Dhaula Kuan is the highest, 23.6 km above ground.

The Delhi Metro features radial, circular, and semi-circular lines, and is renowned for its efficiency, with Elattuvalapil Sreedharan, the first Managing Director, famously known as the "Metro Man."
