🏘️ GTB Nagar — Locality & Metro Station Overview
GTB Nagar Metro Station, officially named Guru Tegh Bahadur Nagar Metro Station, is one of North Delhi's most heavily used underground stations on the Yellow Line of the Delhi Metro. Opened on 4 February 2009 as part of the Yellow Line Phase II extension, the station is named after the ninth Sikh Guru, Guru Tegh Bahadur, and sits at the heart of the locality bearing his name — a residential and academic neighbourhood on Ring Road that borders Delhi University's North Campus to the south and the famous coaching hub of Mukherjee Nagar to the north.
What makes GTB Nagar Metro Station one of the most important stops on the Yellow Line is its unique catchment — it simultaneously serves Delhi University students and faculty (from Hansraj, Ramjas, Kirori Mal, Miranda House and a dozen other DU colleges), UPSC and civil services coaching aspirants from Mukherjee Nagar, patients and staff from Rajan Babu Institute of Pulmonary Medicines, shoppers heading to the bustling Kamla Nagar Market, and thousands of PG residents from across North Delhi's student belt.
