Botanical Garden Metro Station
Blue Line and Magenta Line · Gautam Buddha Nagar, Uttar Pradesh
About Botanical Garden metro station
Botanical Garden is a terminus of the Magenta Line and a through station on the Blue Line.
Botanical Garden opened on 12 November 2009 on the Blue Line in Noida, between Noida Sector 18 and Golf Course, and is also the terminus of the Magenta Line. It was the first elevated interchange station outside Delhi. DMRC describes it as a major connectivity point between Delhi and Noida and says the name comes from the Botanic Garden of Indian Republic nearby. On 3 May 2024, at its 30th foundation day, DMRC named it “Best Metro Station”.
There are four platforms. Platforms 1 and 2 serve the Blue Line towards Noida Electronic City and Dwarka Sector 21. On the Magenta Line, Platform 4 is for departures towards Krishna Park Extension and Janakpuri West, and trains from Okhla Bird Sanctuary end at Platform 3. This is the Krishna Park Extension to Botanical Garden section only: the link from Krishna Park Extension to Deepali Chowk is still under construction, so trains do not run through to Majlis Park.
First and last metro at Botanical Garden
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.
