Recently, approval has also been received for the extension of this corridor from Aerocity till Terminal 1 IGI Airport station (2.263 kms).

In the future, the station will also have the provision of being turned into a triple interchange, as the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) will have interchange facilities at Delhi Aerocity for its proposed corridor to Alwar.

The new Delhi Aerocity Metro station will have platform-to-platform (for one side) as well as concourse-to-concourse paid area connectivity between the Airport Express Line and the Golden Line. The platform will come up at a depth of approximately 22 metres.

The new station for the Golden Line will be significantly longer, at approximately 290 metres, to accommodate the interchange requirements. Generally, the length of an interchange station is about 260 metres.

As per the alignment planned, the Golden Line and the proposed NCRTC corridor will cross each other almost diagonally. The necessary structural provisions for the construction of the NCRTC platform shall be kept in the station for its future integration.

This new interchange facility will be a major connectivity boost for various areas of south Delhi, which will be connected by the Aerocity – Tughlakabad Metro corridor.  Areas such as Tughalakabad, Ambedkar Nagar, Khanpur etc will have quick access to all terminals of the Indira Gandhi International Airport.

Now with the approval to the extension of the Golden Line till Terminal 1 IGI Airport station of Magenta Line,  passengers traveling from many south Delhi areas will have direct access to the Terminal 1 of the airport. Passengers from Terminal 1D will also be able to take the Airport Line from Aerocity through Metro by taking the Golden Line from Terminal 1 IGI Airport till Aerocity.
