Noida-Gurgaon In 50 Mins Y’All

Now that the entire line is operational, you commuters can save upto 45 minutes of your time as you travel between South Delhi and Noida! Plus, you can travel between Noida and Gurgaon in less than 50 minutes, which would have taken you 90 minutes ordinarily.

OMG!

Here’s another really unique feature of the Magenta Line - it’s touted to be the ‘knowledge corridor’ as it connects some major universities like JNU, Jamia Millia Islamia and IIT Delhi on a single line!
