The station has eight gates, and six of them, Gates 2 to 6 and Gate 8, are listed by DMRC simply as Pusa Road; the other two lead to Ajmal Khan Road (Gate 1) and Block C of Rajendra Nagar (Gate 7). Platform 1 serves trains towards Noida Electronic City and Vaishali, platform 2 those towards Dwarka Sector 21.
First and last metro at Karol Bagh
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.
