The unprecedented urbanisation of Megacities like Delhi at an irreversible rate has played a significant role expansion of Delhi Metro projects in the public urban transit system in the Delhi-NCR region. The current work tried to envisage the study on urbanisation transitions due to the launch of the metro rail network in the NCR region. Apart from urban, it has influenced the periphery and rural areas of Delhi. These regions are now hastening towards development at a higher pace. Apart from these, the metro network is contributing to the linear development or parallel development of infrastructures along with the network. Adjoining cities of Uttar Pradesh and Haryana states containing Gurugram, Noida, Bahadurgarh and Faridabad have become major intersections of the metro network. These are also contributing to urbanisation. Thus the current work tries to visualize urbanisation with the social scenario, as it has a massive network of nearly 288 km length comprising of six different lines. The people from different parts are commuting daily via the metro network. In conclusion, it proposes to identify the push and pull to further analyse the urbanisation pattern due to the expansion of the network in the region, as the growing population in the region requires further expansion. Hence, metro projects are expanding continuously and providing a new stimulus towards the increasing urbanisation.
