The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) tweeted about the incident around 8.20 pm.

"Entry to Model Town metro station will be closed temporarily due to smoke from a car which has caught fire outside. We regret the inconvenience," the DMRC tweeted.

According to a senior official, the car went up in flames in front of the metro station's building.

However, it could not be immediately confirmed if the car was moving or stationary.
