Badarpur Border Metro Station
Violet Line · South East Delhi, Delhi
About Badarpur Border metro station
It was earlier known as Badarpur.
Badarpur Border opened on 14 January 2011, when the Violet Line was extended from Sarita Vihar to Badarpur. For more than four years it was the end of the line, and it was crowded as a result. That changed on 6 September 2015, when a 14 km stretch on to Escorts Mujesar in Faridabad opened. The station was known simply as Badarpur until it was renamed in December 2014.
It is an elevated station close to the inter-state border between Badarpur in Delhi and Faridabad in Haryana, between Sarai and Tughlakabad Station. The two gates reflect that position: Gate 1 faces the Faridabad toll plaza, and Gate 2 serves IIHM Badarpur and Mohan Cooperative.
First and last metro at Badarpur Border
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.
