About Durgabai Deshmukh South Campus metro station
Before it opened, this Pink Line station was named South Campus; in December 2014 the Delhi government renamed it Durgabai Deshmukh South Campus. It opened on 14 March 2018 as an elevated station of Phase III, on the Ring Road near the junction of Benito Juarez Marg, between Delhi Cantt. and Sir M. Vishweshwaraiah Moti Bagh.
Its distinguishing feature is the link with Dhaula Kuan on the Airport Express Line. The foot-over bridge between the two stations opened on 9 February 2019 and has 22 travelators. DMRC treats this walkway as its own “line”, LN12, and its journey planner routes it as a 15-minute walking leg of 1.5 km with no fare; DMRC’s platform list for the station includes the travelator alongside the two Pink Line platforms.

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.
