Inside the museum, visitors can explore how the metro was designed and constructed. Detailed exhibits explain the construction process, including underground tunnelling, the use of advanced machinery, and the strict safety measures in place. Models and visual displays illustrate how tunnel boring machines work, helping people understand the process happening beneath the city.

There are also sections that explain how the Delhi Metro has helped reduce road traffic and improve air quality in the city.

Main Attractions

Some of the main attractions include a tribute panel to “Metroman” Dr E Sreedharan, a life-size replica of a metro tunnel, and a model of the operations control centre. The museum, which spans about 12,000 square feet, has been designed to meet international standards. It uses modern display systems and interactive tools to keep visitors engaged. In its first phase, the museum features over 50 panels, exhibits, kiosks, and models.

The museum will open to the public starting from 19 December 2025. The visiting hours will be from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, on Tuesdays through Sundays. It will remain closed on Mondays and public holidays. The entry fee is kept very low at just ₹10 per person.

During the inauguration, the Chief Minister praised the metro team and recalled that when former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee approved the project, many doubted its success.

Today, the Delhi Metro covers nearly 400 kilometres, has 289 stations, and carries around 3.5 to 3.7 million passengers every day. The museum brings this impressive 30-year journey to life for everyone to experience.
