Notably, key routes, including the Delhi Airport Express Line, will operate till late-night hours to accommodate the expected increase in passenger traffic post the match.
As per the updated schedule, the last train on the Airport Express Line from New Delhi to Yashobhoomi will depart at 01:00 a.m. On the Red Line, the final train from Shaheed Sthal to Rithala will leave at 00:10, while the last service from Rithala to Shaheed Sthal will depart at 00:15. The Yellow Line will witness its last train departing from Samaypur Badli at 00:20, with the final service from HUDA City Centre leaving at 23:45.

It’s important to note that the extended timings are subject to change based on the actual match completion time, with services possibly being further extended or curtailed accordingly. Passengers are advised to plan their travels with this flexibility in mind. Crowd management measures are also expected to be enforced at key interchange stations to ensure smooth passenger movement and safety.
