Khanpur and Ambedkar Nagar stations on the Tughlaqabad–Aerocity Golden Line will be Delhi Metro’s first split-station design. Platforms will occupy separate structures on opposite sides of Mehrauli-Badarpur Road, connected by a 45-metre footbridge so passengers can cross above the road and access platforms from either side. The design avoids large-scale land acquisition while retaining full metro functionality.

Each station will have three levels—platform, concourse and footbridge—rather than the conventional two. Road-to-platform height will be about 20 metres; each station will be nine metres wide, compared with typical platform widths of three to four metres. Eight escalators and four lifts will connect ground and platform levels.

Delhi Jal Board (DJB) launched a ₹31.31 crore sewer development project on 17 January 2026 covering unauthorised colonies in Deoli and Ambedkar Nagar under the Okhla drainage zone. Water Minister Parvesh Verma laid the foundation stone. The project aims to reduce untreated sewage discharge into the Yamuna River by providing organised sewer connectivity to areas currently discharging wastewater into open drains.

Original plan (sanctioned 2018): laying 57 kilometres of sewer lines; only 32 kilometres completed before stalling from 2020 onwards.

Revived project: 25 kilometres of underground sewer lines, ranging from 300 mm to 700 mm in diameter, to be laid over 9 months.

Beneficiaries: approximately 300,000 residents across 11 unauthorised colonies in Deoli and Ambedkar Nagar.

Delhi Metro’s Golden Line construction has disrupted Mehrauli-Badarpur (MB) Road for over two years, affecting daily travel through Sangam Vihar, Deoli, Khanpur, Ambedkar Nagar, Madangir, Pushp Vihar and Saket. Metro piers along the central verge have narrowed both carriageways, worsening congestion. Commuters face dust, debris, uneven road surfaces and waterlogged potholes; sections near Khanpur and Ambedkar Nagar were submerged after moderate rain on Monday. Residents say waterlogging can follow a 10-minute drizzle, roadside construction debris reduces visibility, and motorcyclists and pedestrians face safety hazards. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation had said it was regularly sprinkling water to control dust, but residents say the measures are infrequent and insufficient. Despite repeated complaints, they report little improvement as the monsoon intensifies and construction continues.

Delhi’s revenue department issued an October 30 notification to acquire 1,509.13 square metres in Khanpur village for a Metro viaduct and flyover, under the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, and a 2014 Ministry of Home Affairs notification. The acquisition is expected to affect 36 landowners, who may object within 60 days of publication. An Indian Institute of Public Administration social impact assessment found the land serves a legitimate public purpose and would have no adverse environmental impact.

The upper deck will carry the Metro viaduct; the lower deck will be a six-lane, 2.4-kilometre flyover. The project is part of Delhi Metro Rail Corporation’s Phase 4 Tughlakabad–Aerocity corridor. Construction at the Ambedkar Nagar t-point is under way, with pier-cap launching at Metro level and crossbeam installation for the road flyover initiated. It will be south Delhi’s first structure combining a Metro line and road flyover one above the other.
