Azadpur Metro station to be second triple interchange station by 2023

Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) plans to connect Azadpur Metro station with yet another metro corridor, which would make it the second Metro Station, after Kashmere Gate, to have three different lines connected with each other.

New Delhi: Azadpur Metro station is expected to become the second Delhi Metro station to cater to three different corridors by the year 2023.

Currently, Delhi Metro Yellow Line and Delhi Metro Pink Line converge at the station.

According to the official sources, in the phase IV project of the Delhi Metro, the Janakpuri West-RK Ashram Marg corridor, an extension of the Magenta Line, will also have a station at Azadpur. This would make Azadpur the only triple interchange station after Kashmere Gate.

The new elevated metro station will be linked to Azadpur’s existing elevated Yellow Line station and Pink Line halt by foot over-bridges (FOBs). The site for the upcoming metro station has already been identified.

In the same phase, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) plans to convert Lajpat Nagar Metro station into a station from where three different corridors of the Delhi Metro services would be connected.
