The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is going to construct nine new power receiving sub-stations (RSS) and further strengthen four of its existing sub-stations for the upcoming Phase 3 Metro corridors.
The nine new sub-stations which are going to come up are:
New Sub-Stations Metro Corridor for which it will be built
Yamuna Vihar Mukundpur – Gokulpuri
Vinod Nagar depot Mukundpur – Gokulpuri
INA Mukundpur – Gokulpuri

Mukundpur depot Mukundpur – Gokulpuri
Kalkaji Janakpuri West – Botanical Garden
R.K Puram Janakpuri West – Botanical Garden

Faridabad Badarpur – YMCA Chowk
Auxiliary power at 33KV and traction power at 25KV will be supplied from these receiving sub-stations to the Metro stations of the Phase 3 corridors.
In addition, four already operational power sub-stations of DMRC will be augmented so that their feeds can be extended to the Phase 3 corridors as well. These operational sub-stations are Jahangirpuri, Subhash Nagar, Botanical Garden and Kashmere Gate.
Presently, Delhi Metro’s power requirements are regulated through 15 sub-stations, which are spread across different parts of the city and NCR. For Phase 3, under which about 140 kilometres of Metro lines will be built in the National Capital Region, the approximate power requirement will be 150 MVA by 2016.
The presently operational 15 sub-stations are at Kashmere Gate, Rithala, Jahangirpuri, New Delhi, Indraprastha, Dwarka, Subhash Nagar, Mundka, Chhattarpur, Sarita Vihar, Botanical Garden, Sushant Lok, Park Street (two sub stations) and Airport.
The sub-stations presently receive the power of primarily 220 kV / 66 kV grid sub-stations are BSES Rajdhani Power Limited (BRPL), BSES Yamuna Power Limited (BYPL), TATA Power Delhi Distribution Limited (TPDDL), New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC), Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL) and Haryana Vidyut Prasaran Nigam Limited (HVPNL).
