About Sarai Kale Khan - Nizamuddin metro station
Opened on 31 December 2018 as part of Phase III, this underground Pink Line station began life as Hazrat Nizamuddin and was renamed Sarai Kale Khan – Nizamuddin in 2019. Both halves of the name describe what it serves: the Sarai Kale Khan bus terminal and Hazrat Nizamuddin railway station, on the Inner Ring Road.
DMRC labels its gates accordingly: Gate 1 for the Sarai Kale Khan bus stand, and Gates 2 and 3 for Hazrat Nizamuddin railway station. On the ring, its neighbours are Ashram and Mayur Vihar-I; trains heading towards Shiv Vihar end their ring run at Maujpur-Babarpur, where the spur is a separate service.

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.
