About I.P. Extension metro station
The initials stand for Indraprastha Extension, the name of the East Delhi area around the station. It opened on 31 October 2018 as part of Phase III, on the elevated Pink Line, and sits between Anand Vihar ISBT, four minutes away, and Mandawali – West Vinod Nagar.
The station has a working link with the depot as well: elevated feeder lines run from here to the Vinod Nagar Depot, passing over the Delhi Meerut Expressway. Trains here belong to the Pink Line ring service. Passengers heading for Gokulpuri, Johri Enclave or Shiv Vihar change at Maujpur-Babarpur, because the spur to Shiv Vihar is operated as a separate service.
First and last metro at I.P. Extension
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
I.P. is short for Indraprastha, so the full name of the station is Indraprastha Extension, after the East Delhi area it serves. DMRC writes it as I.P. Extension on its station page, and the form IP Extension is also widely used.
Yes. Elevated feeder lines link the station area with the Vinod Nagar Depot, crossing over the Delhi Meerut Expressway. These tracks are for trains going to and from the depot, not for passenger services.
