About Shivaji Stadium metro station
Shivaji Stadium opened on 23 February 2011 on the Airport Express, the line DMRC also calls the Orange Line. It is an underground station with an island platform, placed between New Delhi and Dhaula Kuan, with trains continuing in one direction to the airport and Yashobhoomi Dwarka Sector 25.
DMRC’s description singles out two services: a city check-in facility and a VISA Facilitation Service. It also stresses the station’s position near Connaught Place and its links to IGI Terminal 3 and 2 and to New Delhi Railway Station. Both entrances are on Baba Kharak Singh Marg, and DMRC splits them by purpose, marking the back-side gate as the entry and the main-road gate as the exit. For more on the line itself, see our Airport Express guide.
First and last metro at Shivaji Stadium
Departure times from this station on a weekday, as DMRC’s journey planner gives them (checked on Tuesday 20 October 2026; the planner takes no date). DMRC does not publish separate Saturday, Sunday or holiday times for each station, and on special days it announces changes in advance. A last train after midnight belongs to the previous evening’s service. “Not published” means DMRC’s own answer was inconsistent (arrival before departure), so we leave it out.
