Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) announced its additional services during the IPL 2025 matches so as not to inconvenience train users. Cricket fans who travel by train will benefit from this new IPL initiative, and this will better manage the traffic on the roads and metro services.
DMRC plans to cover 76 extra train services for the home matches on April 13, 16, 27, 29, and May 11. The last trains on all lines and the Airport Express Line will leave at least one to two hours later. This is to ensure that there is less traffic congestion and fewer delays in the eastern and western regions of the city.
DMRC was already overloaded with other plans to control the crowd expected at the gates, and now, with these changes, there is a slight shift in control. DMRC attempts to reduce the crowd buildup at the gates and the stations like ITO and Delhi Gate via the Violet Line, which seem to be the most crowded metro stations.

As stated in their official statement, DMRC expects a large crowd at the match, and every hour trains leave to surrounding stations. A large number of passengers will use those trains, hence increasing the train traffic.
This development comes at the right time, with the Delhi Capitals performing exceptionally well in the tournament. Under the captaincy of Axar Patel, the team has notched up four consecutive victories and is currently leading the points table after convincingly defeating Visakhapatnam, Chennai, and Bengaluru. With the home crowd set to support the team, they will be able to enjoy the game without any concerns regarding getting home after the match, thanks to the extended metro hours.
