Ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) matches in the city, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has adjusted the last metro hours on all lines, including the Airport Express line. To make sure that IPL T20 matches at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Feroz Shah Kotla Ground, New Delhi, on April 13, 16, 27, 29, and May 11, 2025, operate well for fans.
The stadium is situated on the Violet line, which connects Kashmere Gate and Raja Nahar Singh, near the Delhi Gate and ITO metro stations.
The Delhi Metro will run 76 extra train journeys on match days by extending the last train schedules by around 1 to 2 hours across all lines in preparation for the unexpected rush that is anticipated at close Metro stations following the match. The goal of this precaution is to guarantee that fans may use the Metro to get back to their destinations without incident.
Altamash, Metrostay’s shop manager, described the establishment as follows: “This pod hotel opened in January. There are about 150 beds accessible in the dorms. Both walk-in alternatives and Goibibo are available for registration. We offer a cinema, a lounge, and a gaming room, among other amenities. Additionally, we have separate dorms and restrooms for women. We’re also working on private rooms, which will be available shortly.”
On April 6, the DMRC opened “The Metrostay”, a pod-style hotel at the New Delhi Metro Station, offering travellers and commuters a convenient and reasonably priced place to stay. The facility is intended to serve those in transit, especially those utilising the adjacent Airport Express Line and New Delhi Railway Station, and its rates start at just Rs 400.
Clean, well-lit dormitory-style rooms with comfortable bunk beds are available at the ‘Metrostay’. Every visitor is given a digital locker to safely keep personal items. There is a separate co-working space for workers who are always on the go. Along with a mini-theatre where visitors may watch films and live screenings, the facility also has a gaming room with indoor recreational options, including carrom.
Metrostay offers separate dorms and restrooms for women to guarantee their safety and comfort, particularly for female travellers.
