Trial runs have started on the Dwarka Sector 21-IICC Metro Section on the Airport Express Line of Delhi Metro.
The segment between Dwarka Sector 21 and the upcoming India International Convention Centre (IICC) is expected to be commissioned by July 2022.
Dwarka Sector 25-IICC is an underground station and an extension of the presently operational Airport Express Line connecting the New Delhi Railway station with Dwarka Sector 21 via Terminal 3 of the Indira Gandhi International Airport.
With the completion of this section, the corridor will become 24.70 km long. The section will be opened for passenger post mandatory approvals.
The IICC is being developed as India's largest exhibition and convention centre. The facility which is currently under construction, will be equipped with state-of-the-art facilities such as convention centres, auditoriums, hotels, office spaces, among others.
The station is coming up at a depth of about 17 mtr from the surface. The station will have five entry/exit points which will be facilitated by 14 escalators, five lifts along with staircases for smooth passenger movement.
