NEW DELHI : The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) on Sunday said 12 old stations of Red Line have been refurbished with upgraded infrastructure and enhanced look as part of a massive renovation exercise to keep pace with the changing times and ensuring an enhanced commuting experience to its customers. The Red Line was the first Delhi Metro line which became operational in 2002 with the opening of the 8.4 KM long Shahdara to Tis Hazari section comprising 6 stations. The massive renovation, completed for 12 of the 21 stations, included finishing or replacing the exterior facade with contemporary easy-to-maintain material, DMRC said. Major stations where the renovation work is almost complete are Dilshad Garden, Jhilmil, Mansarovar Park, Shahdara, Welcome and Shastri Park. The work at remaining Metro stations on the Red Line will also be completed by May 2021, the DMRC said.
