About Delhi Cantt. metro station
Delhi Cantt. opened on 14 March 2018 as one of the elevated stations of the Pink Line built in Delhi Metro’s Phase III, between Naraina Vihar and Durgabai Deshmukh South Campus. DMRC notes that it is also known as Pioneer Delhi Cant, and the station name itself refers to the Delhi Cantonment, whose army medical college and base hospital stand beside it.
Trains here belong to the Pink Line ring service. The spur to Gokulpuri, Johri Enclave and Shiv Vihar is a separate service, and DMRC’s notes send passengers for those stations to change at Maujpur-Babarpur.
First and last metro at Delhi Cantt.
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.
