Delhi Metro said it would run later trains on April 27 for the Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru match, giving fans extra time to get home after the IPL clash.
Last trains on Line 1 were scheduled to leave at 12:10am, while Line 9 services were set for 12:15am. The Airport Express was due to run until 1:00am, and one service was scheduled to leave at 1:30am. All major interchange stations were to stay open after the match.
The extension was arranged specifically for the big dc vs rcb fixture, which is expected to draw a heavy crowd and put pressure on the city’s late-night transit links. Delhi Metro urged fans to leave early to beat the rush and to use smart cards or digital payments for quicker entry.
The move is meant to keep the post-match exit moving, not to create a long window for lingering at the stadium. Fans who delay until the final whistle could still run into packed platforms, but the later departures give them a better chance of reaching home without getting stranded.
