Hauz Khas Metro Station
Yellow Line and Magenta Line · South Delhi, Delhi
About Hauz Khas metro station
Trains first called at Hauz Khas on 3 September 2010, when the underground station opened on the Yellow Line. It has since become the crossing point with the Magenta Line, and DMRC sums up the result plainly: the interchange connects Noida and Gurugram and cuts the journey between them by approximately 30 minutes. DMRC also calls it the deepest metro station of its network and a civil engineering marvel made up of seven technical levels; the platforms sit about 29 metres below the surface.
Four platforms are stacked inside that box. Platforms 1 and 2 belong to the Yellow Line, for Millennium City Centre Gurugram and Samaypur Badli, with Green Park and Malviya Nagar on either side. Platforms 3 and 4 serve the Magenta Line towards Botanical Garden and towards Janakpuri West and Krishna Park Extension, with IIT and Panchsheel Park as the neighbouring stops. Magenta trains here run only on the Krishna Park Extension – Botanical Garden section; the separate Deepali Chowk – Majlis Park section cannot be reached by a through train, because the link between the two is still under construction.

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
DMRC describes Hauz Khas as the deepest metro station on its network and a civil engineering marvel built over seven technical levels. The platforms lie roughly 29 metres underground. DMRC adds that the interchange cuts the travel time between Noida and Gurugram by approximately 30 minutes.
No. The Magenta Line currently runs as two disconnected sections: Krishna Park Extension – Botanical Garden, which serves Hauz Khas, and Deepali Chowk – Majlis Park. The link between Krishna Park Extension and Deepali Chowk is under construction, so there is no through running.
