Hauz Khas set to get deepest underground metro station by March 2016.

Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has already completed more than 50 per cent of the civil work in the deepest ever Metro station being constructed at Hauz Khas. This station, DMRC officials said, will serve as an interchange point between the Yellow Line (Jahangirpuri to HUDA City Centre) and the upcoming Magenta Line on the Outer Ring Road (Janakpuri to Botanical Garden). Tunnel boring has also begun at the next station, IIT, and the work will be completed shortly, officials said. Constructed 29 metres below the ground, the new Hauz Khas station will surpass the depth of the Chawri Bazar station, which at 25 metres, is the deepest station now. The new Hauz Khas station will also be the first one to have five levels. At present, Metro stations in Delhi and NCR have a maximum of three levels. "There will be three intermediate levels, followed by a concourse and a roof. The rails at Hauz Khas will be laid at a depth of 29 metres from the ground level. It will be connected to the existing Hauz Khas station by a 150 metre-long subway," a senior DMRC official told Newsline.
