Brown Line (Delhi Metro)

The Brown Line (Line 12) is an approved line of the Delhi Metro. It will provide improved direct connections to eastern, southern and south-eastern Delhi with the Indira Gandhi International Airport and Faridabad to decrease the increasing traffic, congestion and pollution on roads. It will act as a link line, by joining four lines–Violet, Pink, Magenta and Golden lines with each other. It will start from Lajpat Nagar and end in Saket G-Block. It will be 7.96 km (4.95 mi) long with eight stations, all of which will be elevated. The line was approved by the Government of India and the foundation stone was laid for its construction by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 14 March 2024, and work is yet to begin, as part of the fourth phase of the Delhi Metro's development. The line is slated to be completed by March 2026.
