It is a 12.53-km stretch, extension of Jehangirpuri (Delhi)-HUDA City Centre (Gurgaon) line. It is the longest line of the metro railway and passes through some of the most populous parts of the city. The total number of stations between this stretches is 34 and between central secretariat -HUDA city centre the count of stations is 20. It has been planned to facilitate 36 to 40 trains on this corridor from central Delhi to HUDA city centre.

The DMRC is further planning to facilitate buses on the Qutub-Minar stop from where these buses will ply at a frequency of 10 minutes to Gurgaon.

Though the count of commuters on the day of inauguration was relatively low but the authorities are expecting a very high count of travelers in coming days. The authorities are claiming approximately 2lacs passengers to travel on this line by 2011.

With the advent of metro, commutation between Delhi and Gurgaon has become faster, convenient and economical. The connectivity corridor bypasses the most congested locations of central and south Delhi offering a hassle free travel option reducing the congestion on the roads. With the feasibility of metro connectivity, Gurgaon seems to be quite closer to Delhi which was otherwise very chaotic and time consuming to commute. Therefore, the advent of metro is a boon for daily commuters between Delhi and Gurgaon.
