Delhi Metro Yellow Line Crawls During Peak-Hour Snag as DMRC Works to Restore Service

DMRC says a signalling issue slowed trains, with restoration underway.

Overview

  • Services slowed sharply on the Vishwavidyalaya–Central Secretariat stretch during the morning rush, with trains running at very low speeds and long gaps between arrivals.
  • Riders reported packed coaches and overcrowded platforms, with short trips stretching to 30–50 minutes or more and stoppages at stations such as Patel Chowk and Hauz Khas.
  • DMRC said services are being gradually normalised on the affected section and that other lines are operating normally, according to officials cited by PTI.
  • Officials pointed to a signalling issue as the cause, though some coverage also linked the disruption to heavy rain reported across Delhi-NCR.
  • Commuters posted images and complaints on X describing severe delays, missed office and school timings, and slow movement on the Yellow Line.
