Delhi Metro Completes Substation Relocation for Central Vista
The Delhi Metro has finished moving and rebuilding a power station called the Park Street Electric Receiving Sub Station.
This station was originally built in 2010 to supply power to the Airport Line and the Violet Line.
It was taken apart between 2021 and 2022 to make way for the Central Vista Project.
The new station was built starting in 2023 and was completed in December 2025.
The new station has better technology and safety features, and it will also supply power to the new Central Vista Metro Line.
The station is designed to be more environmentally friendly, with plans to add solar power to reduce its impact on the environment.
