TheGolden Line (Line 10 and Line 11) is arapid transit line of theDelhi Metro currently under-construction. It will start fromTerminal 1-IGI Airport, which was previously planned fromDelhi Aerocity, and end inTughlakabad.^[2] It will be 25.82 km (16.04 mi) long with 16 stations, out of which four will be elevated and 12 will be underground.

It will connectsouthern Delhi directly withIndira Gandhi International Airport to relieve the increasing traffic, congestion and pollution on roads. Construction began on the line in June 2022, as part of thefourth phase of the Delhi Metro's development, and is expected to be completed by March 2026.^[3][4][5][6]

The Golden Line, initially named as Silver Line, was conceptualized by theDelhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) under thePhase IV ofDelhi Metro's future expansion and development in July 2016. As per the plan, six new lines covering a length of about 104 km (65 mi) have been planned to be added to the metro network, out of which the Golden Line would coversouthern Delhi at a length of 20.2 km (12.6 mi). The plans were finalized for implementation by theGovernment of Delhi in December 2018; this time the length of the Golden Line increased to 23.6 km (14.7 mi).^[7] In March 2019, the plans were approved for construction by theGovernment of India. Thus, land acquisition for Phase IV and Golden Line began from April 2019, and was completed by three years. Construction was supposed to begin from 2021, but was delayed due to the restrictions imposed by the government due to theCOVID-19 pandemic. Hence, construction was started byAfcons Infrastructure andLarsen & Toubro in June 2022.^[3][4] It was expected to be completed by 2024/25, which has been extended to March 2026, as of January 2024.^[1]

In November 2020, the DMRC changed the alignment of the Golden Line as per the instructions of theArchaeological Survey of India (ASI) to circumvent theQutb Minar and theMehrauli Archaeological Park, so to avoid any harm to these critical historical sites during construction and operation.^[6] As per the initial plan, the line was proposed to be extended toTerminal 1 ofIndira Gandhi International Airport, in order to provide commuters a faster and direct link to the airport's premises. The proposal was approved by the Government of Delhi after the DMRC created and showed aDetailed Project Report (DPR) in December 2023, thereby increasing the line's length to 25.82 km (16.04 mi).^[8][9] The name of the line was changed from 'Silver Line' to 'Golden Line' in January 2024.^[5][10]
