- Kolkata Metro will run extended services on its Blue and Green lines on Nov 8 with additional trips and last departures pushed to about 10:40–11:00 PM to serve devotees traveling to Dakshineswar and Kalighat.
- Pune operators issued much earlier closing times for Diwali: PITCMRL said Line 3’s final departures will be around 7:40–8:40 PM and MahaMetro extended Lines 1 and 2 only until about 8:00 PM.
- Metro agencies across cities advised commuters to check official websites and social media for station-level first and last-train details and to plan journeys in advance to avoid missed connections.
- These one-day adjustments reflect local festival flows, recent service changes such as Pune Line 3’s opening and event-driven shifts in Delhi, and they may disrupt late-night transfers between networks on Nov 8.
