About Dr. Baba Saheb Ambedkar Hospital metro station
It was earlier known as Rohini West.
Inaugurated on 31 March 2004, this elevated Red Line station was formerly known as Rohini West, and DMRC still uses that name and its code, RHW, in its own note about the station. The present name, Dr. Baba Saheb Ambedkar Hospital, is shared with the hospital to which Gate 2 is signed. It lies between Rithala and Rohini, in Sector 6 and Sector 10 of Rohini.
DMRC’s note concentrates on shopping: the Unity One Mall and the City Centre Mall, with multilevel parking, at Gate 3. A skywalk between the station building and Unity One Mall lets travellers walk straight into the mall without going out through the exit gates, and back again.
First and last metro at Dr. Baba Saheb Ambedkar Hospital
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.
