About Anand Vihar ISBT metro station
Anand Vihar ISBT opened on 6 January 2010 on the Vaishali branch of the Blue Line and served as its terminus until 13 July 2011, when trains began running beyond it to Kaushambi and Vaishali. The station is also on the Pink Line, which makes it an interchange; trains on the ring here run between I.P. Extension and Karkarduma.
The station is elevated and has four platforms: two for the Blue Line towards Vaishali and Dwarka Sector 21, and two for the Pink Line, one towards Majlis Park and Yamuna Vihar and the other towards Shiv Vihar. Its gates are described by what they face: Gate 2 stands in front of the inter-state bus terminus, Gate 3 sits between the bus terminus and the railway station, and the Pink Line’s Gate 1 points towards the ISBT. DMRC’s electric feeder route MC-719 starts and ends here, running a loop through Anand Vihar and Karkarduma.
First and last metro at Anand Vihar ISBT
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.
