About Dwarka-Kakrola metro station
Dwarka-Kakrola is a terminus of the Grey Line and a through station on the Blue Line. It was earlier known as Dwarka.
This station opened on 30 December 2005 on the Blue Line, formerly under the name Dwarka; it is now Dwarka-Kakrola, and Gate 1 is signed for Kakrola Gaon. It is also where the Grey Line ends, with Nangli as the next Grey Line stop, which makes it an interchange between the two lines.
Both lines are elevated. DMRC’s platform list shows the arrangement: Platforms 1 and 3 for Blue Line trains towards Noida Electronic City and Vaishali, Platform 2 for trains towards Dwarka Sector 21, and Platforms 4 and 5 for the Grey Line. On the Blue Line the station lies between Dwarka Mor and Dwarka Sector 14.
First and last metro at Dwarka-Kakrola
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.
