About Madhuban Chowk metro station
DMRC notes its earlier name, Pitampura.
The Red Line reached this elevated station on 31 March 2004, when it was called Pitampura. A second line arrived on 8 March 2026, when the Magenta Line section between Deepali Chowk and Majlis Park opened and turned the station into an interchange. DMRC’s own description still begins with “Pitampura Metro Station” and adds that it is also known as Madhuban chowk; Pitampura is now its former name.
Red Line trains run from here to Kohat Enclave and Rohini, Magenta trains to Deepali Chowk and Prashant Vihar. The Magenta service belongs to a section that is not joined to the Krishna Park Extension – Botanical Garden part of the line: the link between Krishna Park Extension and Deepali Chowk is under construction in Phase 4, so there is no through running. DMRC describes the north side as home to Madhuban Apartment, Shiva Market, Rama Market and Dundial Apartment, and the south side as Rohini Court, Vishakha Enclave and southern Pitampura.
First and last metro at Madhuban Chowk
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
Yes. The station opened on the Red Line on 31 March 2004 as Pitampura, which is now recorded as its former name. DMRC’s description still calls it Pitampura Metro Station and says it is also known as Madhuban Chowk, the name it carries today.
Not directly. Since 8 March 2026 Madhuban Chowk is served by the Deepali Chowk – Majlis Park section of the Magenta Line, which is separate from the Krishna Park Extension – Botanical Garden section. The stretch that will join them, between Krishna Park Extension and Deepali Chowk, is under construction in Phase 4, so trains do not run through.
