About Janakpuri East metro station
Janakpuri East has been on the Blue Line since 30 December 2005, an elevated stop in West Delhi. It sits two minutes from Tilak Nagar and under two from Janakpuri West.
DMRC lists it among its elevated stations without further description. Platform 1 is for Noida Electronic City and Vaishali, Platform 2 for Dwarka Sector 21. Through trains between Dwarka and Vaishali exist, while other trains for Vaishali require a change at Yamuna Bank, where the Blue Line divides. The trains on both platforms belong to the main Blue Line service between Dwarka Sector 21 and Noida Electronic City, with the Vaishali branch as the only variation.
First and last metro at Janakpuri East
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.
