Qutab Minar Metro Station
Yellow Line · South Delhi, Delhi
About Qutab Minar metro station
Qutab Minar opened on 21 June 2010 as one end of the 14.47 km Yellow Line corridor to Gurugram, which was elevated throughout. DMRC spells the monument Qutub and describes the station as elevated, standing on Anuvrat Marg beside Mittal Garden, between Saket and Chhatarpur.
There are just two entrances, both on Anuvrat Marg. DMRC’s own note sets out how they are used: Gate 1 is the entry from Anuvrat Marg, near a foot over bridge on the north side towards M.B. Road and close to the parking entrance; Gate 2 is the exit on the south side near Mittal Garden, towards Chhatarpur. DMRC also mentions a TSR (auto-rickshaw) Halt & Go facility inside the station premises, and two Sulabh toilets, one by the parking lot and one just outside Gate 2. Beyond tourists, DMRC says the station serves Mehrauli town, Dadabadhi, Mittal Garden, Lado Sarai, Jain Mandir, Picnic Ghat, Andheriya Mod and Chhatarpur Pahadi.
First and last metro at Qutab Minar
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.
