Delhi Metro timings change for Diwali, last train at 10 pm
The Story in Brief
DMRC has revised train timings for Diwali on Sunday, 8 November 2026. On all lines including the Airport Express Line, the last train will depart from terminal stations at 10:00 PM instead of the regular 11:00 PM.
On the Pink, Magenta and Grey lines, the first service will begin one hour earlier at 6:00 AM instead of the usual 7:00 AM on Sundays. Other lines will operate on their normal Sunday schedule. DMRC has advised passengers to plan journeys accordingly and check its website and social media for updates.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both Aajtak.in and TV9 Hindi printed the same DMRC press release verbatim, leading with the last-train timing at 10:00 PM instead of 11:00 PM and the earlier start of 6:00 AM on three lines. Aajtak.in embeds the English version of the release as an X embed and marks the Hindi text with a file photo, while TV9 Hindi adds a reporter's byline and finishes with a redundant advisory about not missing the last train. The two outlets do not differ on any fact or framing: each reproduces the DMRC announcement without embellishment, criticism, or analysis. A reader gets identical information from both sources, leaving no interpretive gap to resolve. DMRC's official schedule for the festival is the only substantive point either story conveys.
