India’s Tallest Escalator

Did You Know? India’s Tallest Escalator Is in a Delhi Metro Station!

Ever thought about where the tallest escalator in India is? Many would guess an airport or a luxury mall. Surprisingly, it’s in a Delhi Metro station, and not just any station, but Janakpuri West on the Magenta Line, featuring an escalator that rises a staggering 15.6 metres!

A Vertical Marvel

At 15.6 metres in height and about 35.3 metres in length, the escalator at Janakpuri West Metro Station holds the record for the tallest escalator in India. It connects the underground Magenta Line concourse to the surface, dramatically improving passenger movement.

Why It Matters

Most people associate metro stations with short escalators, but as Delhi Metro expands deeper and integrates more interchanges, taller escalators like this make commuting smoother and safer.
Before this, the tallest escalators in India were in Mumbai Airport’s Terminal 2, measuring around 11.6 metres.

A Peek Into the Future

With more multi-level transport hubs being built, expect even taller escalators and lifts across India’s metro and transit systems. It’s a quiet revolution in passenger infrastructure that mirrors India’s growing urban mobility needs.
