About Major Mohit Sharma Rajendra Nagar metro station
It was earlier known as Rajendra Nagar.
When this elevated station opened in Ghaziabad on 8 March 2019 it was simply Rajendra Nagar. It now carries the name of Major Mohit Sharma, an Ashoka Chakra awardee, in whose honour it was renamed. DMRC proposed the station early in 2016 as part of the Red Line extension; trials were due by 30 September 2018, the section was inaugurated on 8 March 2019 and it opened to passengers the following day.
DMRC’s description highlights one neighbour in particular, the Hindon Air Force base, which it places 4.5 kilometres away. Trains stop at side platforms between Raj Bagh and Shyam Park, about two minutes from each, and the two gates take their names from nearby businesses: Gate No. 1 near Bikanervala and Gate No. 2 near Durga Industrial Park.

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
It opened as Rajendra Nagar and was renamed in honour of Major Mohit Sharma, an Ashoka Chakra awardee. The full name keeps the original Rajendra Nagar alongside his, which is why both appear on the station.
DMRC’s station description puts the Hindon Air Force base 4.5 kilometres away and describes it as Asia’s largest. The base is not on DMRC’s list of walkable nearby places; Sahibabad Railway Station, at 1.0 km, is the closest transport link DMRC gives.
