In the National Capital, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has extended the timings for its last train on match days when IPL matches will be played.

The timings will be extended by approx. 30-45 minutes, the DMRC further said.

The Arun Jaitley Stadium is adjacent to the Delhi Gate Metro station on the violet line spanning from Kashmere Gate to Raja Nahar Singh.

"On Monday, the DMRC will be extending its last train timings by about 30-45 minutes on all lines (except the Airport Line) to enable the audience to reach their destination smoothly," DMRC said on Twitter.
