Delhi Metro achieves new height record of 28.37 m near Haiderpur Badli Mor

New Delhi: The Delhi Metro has achieved a new record with the construction of its highest-ever point near Haiderpur Badli Mor, surpassing the previous mark at Dhaula Kuan.

"A 490-metre stretch on the Phase-IV Magenta Line Extension has been built at a height of 28.362 metres, exceeding the Pink Line's 23.6-metre record," said a statement from Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC).

The construction involved phased execution and alternative support systems due to space constraints, it stated.

A second-highest elevated section, a 52.288-metre steel span at 27.61 metres, was also completed, it read.

To avoid disruptions, construction was planned during non-operational hours at night.

"This ensured that regular passenger services remained unaffected," said DMRC's Principal Executive Director Anuj Dayal.
