Named after the market a few hundred metres away, Khan Market opened on 3 October 2010 with the first section of the Violet Line, ready for the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony that day. It is an underground station with an island platform.
The run to Central Secretariat takes 3.6 minutes, while JLN Stadium is 2.5 minutes away. DMRC gives no description beyond the station’s type, but its four gates are labelled for Lok Nayak Bhawan, The Ambassador Hotel, Pandara Road and Golf Link, and the R.S. Junior Modern School on Shahjahan Road.
First and last metro at Khan Market
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.
