About Preet Vihar metro station
Preet Vihar is on the Vaishali branch of the Blue Line and has been open since 6 January 2010. It is elevated and lies between Nirman Vihar and Karkarduma.
The branch leaves the Blue Line main line at Yamuna Bank, and through trains run between Dwarka and Vaishali, so passengers from Preet Vihar can ride towards Dwarka Sector 21 on the platform marked for it. DMRC’s entry for the station gives no description beyond its elevated structure. The four gates are labelled by nearby landmarks, two of them bank branches.

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.
