Trains will run at 30-minute intervals across all lines until 6 AM, after which normal metro services will continue throughout the day, the statement noted.

“On the day of the Delhi Assembly election on February 5 and the vote counting on February 8, Delhi Metro train services on all lines will begin at 4 AM from their terminal stations to facilitate election duty personnel,” it stated.
