Delhi Metro is constructing an additional interchange facility (halt platform) on the Green Line i.e. Line 5 (Inderlok/KirtiNagar to Brig. Hoshiar Singh Bahadurgarh) which will provide interconnectivity between the Green and Pink Line i.e. Line-7 (Majlis Park-Shiv Vihar) at the Punjabi Bagh West Metro station of Pink Line.
- To undertake the construction of this halt platform, the first and the last metro train services between Brig. Hoshiar Singh (Bahadurgarh) to Inderlok/Kirtinagar (Line-5) will be regulated from the intervening night of 18th /19th June 2021 till 30th September 2021 as follows:

- Announcements regarding the same will also be made at the stations and inside the trains on Green Line during this period.
- This is for the first time that such a special halt platform is being planned to connect two already operational Metro corridors.
- This halt platform will provide interconnectivity between the Green and the Pink Line at the Punjabi Bagh West Metro station of Pink Line.
- There will not be any ticketing facility on the interchange platforms but boarding and deboarding facilities will be available as a result of which passengers desirous of interchanging trains between Line 5 and Line 7 will be able to use the facility.
- The platforms will be connected by a 230-metres long Foot Over Bridge (FOB), which will connect the platforms with the Punjabi Bagh West Metro station of Pink Line.
- The platforms will be 155 metres in length and shall be connected with the FOB by two extra large lifts (each platform) with capacity of 26 passengers each and staircases.
- The total height from the platform level of the new platforms to the concourse of the Punjabi Bagh West station of Pink Line is 16.75 metres.
- Therefore, the passage has been planned at two levels.
- The passengers after coming down from the staircases or lifts from the platform will again have to take stairs, two escalators or a through movement lift to finally reach the concourse area.
- At present, there is no interconnectivity between the two corridors.
- This facility will be of great benefit to passengers travelling to and from the satellite city of Bahadurgarh and other outer Delhi areas such as Mundka, Nangloi etc.
