Saket Metro Station
Yellow Line · South Delhi, Delhi
About Saket metro station
Saket is the last underground station at the southern end of the Yellow Line: beyond it the line rises to Qutab Minar. It opened on 3 September 2010 and stands on Mehrauli–Badarpur Road, with Malviya Nagar on the other side.
DMRC’s description is unusually detailed. Gate 1, near Vidya Niketan School on the north side, is for Select City Walk, PVR Anupam and the IGNOU centre at Maidan Garhi. Gate 2, by the metro parking lot on the south side, serves Said-ul-Ajaib, Lado Sarai and the Garden of Five Senses, and is close to the Gramin Sewa terminal. Gate 3, near D Block opposite a DDA park, is mainly for residents of the colony and visitors to the CISF facility beside it. DMRC adds that cultural events at the Garden of Five Senses make the station useful, and that several competitive-exam test centres are nearby.
First and last metro at Saket
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.
