Delhi Metro Launches Special Har Ghar Tiranga Themed Train on Yellow Line to Celebrate 80th Independence Day
NEW DELHI, AUGUST 09, 2026 — As India prepares to celebrate its 80th Independence Day with immense pride, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has joined the national festivities by introducing a specially decorated, patriotic-themed train. Rolled out today on the busy Yellow Line—which connects Samaypur Badli to Millenium City Centre Gurugram—the train is wrapped in vibrant graphics reflecting the spirit of the “Har Ghar Tiranga” campaign. Passengers traveling along this key transit corridor were greeted with dynamic visual tributes to the national flag, turning daily commutes into an inspiring celebration of freedom and unity.
This year’s “Har Ghar Tiranga” movement carries extra historical weight, as it coincides with the historic 150th anniversary of “Vande Mataram,” India’s iconic national song. The special metro layout incorporates tributes to Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay’s patriotic anthem alongside modern national symbols, blending cultural heritage with urban mobility. Commuters across the National Capital Region are encouraged to participate actively in the celebrations by hoisting the tricolor at their homes and joining digital initiatives, such as sharing selfies with the flag online to foster collective national pride.
