Tilak Nagar Metro Station

About Tilak Nagar metro station
Tilak Nagar station dates from 30 December 2005, when it opened as an elevated Blue Line stop with side platforms between Subhash Nagar and Janakpuri East. DMRC’s description is limited to its elevated structure.
Its four gates are the clearest guide to the area. Two lead to the Central Market, one of them also to the Saatmanjila Temple; another serves Ashok Nagar, Fateh Nagar and Jail Road; and the last is signed for Prem Nagar and DMRC’s authorised parking. Being on the Blue Line’s main route, it sees trains running to Noida and, after the branch at Yamuna Bank, to Vaishali.

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.
