The Green Line (Line 5) is a metro rail line of the Delhi Metro, a rapid transit system in Delhi, India. The line consists of 24 stations covering a total length of 28.79  km. It runs between Inderlok and Brigadier Hoshiyar Singh with a branch line connecting the line's Ashok Park Main station with Kirti Nagar station.^[2]

It is almost an elevated line except for Kirti Nagar Metro Station which is At Grade and runs mostly along the busy NH 9 route in North Delhi and North West Delhi, bypassing Tikri Border to enter Bahadurgarh. It is the first Delhi metro line on standard gauge, as opposed to 5 ft 6 in (1,676 mm) broad gauge, prevalent in Red, Yellow and Blue Lines.

A 12.37 km extension of Green Line with ten stations was approved by the Union Government in March 2024. Construction is expected to begin in 2024, as part of the fourth phase of the Delhi Metro's development, and is slated to be completed by 2029.^[3][4][5]
