History
editAs part of Phase III of the extension of Delhi Metro, Mandi House will be expanded into an interchange station in order to reduce pressure on Rajiv Chowk station.[2][3] A new 6.8-km line has come up from Central Secretariat to a new station at Kashmere Gate by 26 June 2014 from Central Secretariat to Mandi House,8 June 2015 from Mandi House to ITO and 28 May 2017 from ITO to Kashmere Gate. The new line will be developed on standard gauge and integrated with the Badarpur corridor, which too runs on standard gauge. As the existing Mandi House station has broad-gauge tracks, Metro officials are now working on plans to develop a parallel station at the same site.[4][5]
