About Dashrathpuri metro station
Dashrathpuri opened to the public on 29 May 2018 as part of Phase III, one of the underground stations of the Magenta Line between Dabri Mor – Janakpuri South and Palam. DMRC’s own note about it is short: the station is close to the Sulabh International Museum and connects the residential areas of Mahavir Enclave and Bengali Colony.
Its three gates are named for Nasirpur Village, Sulabh International and Vijay Enclave. As on the rest of the line, platform doors open only when they are aligned with the doors of a halted train, and trains run on the Magenta Line’s section between Krishna Park Extension and Botanical Garden.

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.
