Prashant Vihar Metro Station
Magenta Line · Central North Delhi, Delhi
About Prashant Vihar metro station
Prashant Vihar is one of the stations that opened on 8 March 2026, when DMRC inaugurated the Magenta Line section between Deepali Chowk and Majlis Park. It is elevated, in Central North Delhi, between Madhuban Chowk and North Pitampura.
The section it belongs to is not yet joined to the rest of the Magenta Line. DMRC runs it separately from Krishna Park Extension – Botanical Garden, and the Krishna Park Extension – Deepali Chowk link is still under construction in Phase 4, so trains do not run through. DMRC has published no descriptive paragraph for the station so far; its gates are signed for VIPS and for the Deventure Hotel and petrol pump.
First and last metro at Prashant Vihar
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.

Frequently asked questions
It opened on 8 March 2026 with the Magenta Line section from Deepali Chowk to Majlis Park, which DMRC inaugurated on the same day as a new Pink Line section.
No. DMRC runs the Magenta Line as two separate sections, Deepali Chowk to Majlis Park and Krishna Park Extension to Botanical Garden. The stretch between Krishna Park Extension and Deepali Chowk is under construction, so there is no through running for now.
