Vinobapuri Metro Station
Pink Line · South East Delhi, Delhi
About Vinobapuri metro station
Vinobapuri opened on 31 December 2018 as part of Phase III, when this underground section of the Pink Line came into service. Trains stop at a single island platform. Platform 1 serves trains towards Maujpur-Babarpur and Shiv Vihar, platform 2 those towards Yamuna Vihar and Majlis Park, the two directions of the ring.
The station lies between Lajpat Nagar and Ashram. DMRC adds nothing beyond its standard note that this is one of its underground stations, but its gate list shows a station with two sides: one gate for Lajpat Nagar II and one for Sriniwas Puri. Passengers for Gokulpuri, Johri Enclave and Shiv Vihar change at Maujpur-Babarpur, because the ring and the spur are run as separate services.
First and last metro at Vinobapuri
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.
How often trains run at Vinobapuri
Average interval between trains published by DMRC for each section (as on 31.08.2026). Peak hours are 08:00–12:00 and 17:00–21:00, the hours outside DMRC’s off-peak definition.

Frequently asked questions
DMRC lists Gate 1 for Lajpat Nagar II and Gate 2 for Sriniwas Puri. The station therefore works for both sides, with PGDAV College 0.5 km away and Central Market Lajpat Nagar 1 km away by DMRC’s figures.
No. The Pink Line ring and the spur to Shiv Vihar are separate services. Take a train towards Maujpur-Babarpur from platform 1 and change there for Gokulpuri, Johri Enclave and Shiv Vihar.
