With 288 stations across 13 lines, it connects Central Delhi to the farthest corners of Noida, Gurugram, Faridabad and Ghaziabad. Whether you are heading to Connaught Place, Chandni Chowk, Cyber City in Gurugram or the DLF offices in Noida — the metro gets you there faster and cheaper than any other option.

How to Read Delhi Metro Station Codes
Every Delhi Metro station has a unique 2–4 letter station code displayed on platforms and in the DMRC app. For example, RCK is Rajiv Chowk, NDD is New Delhi, and HCC is Huda City Centre. These codes also indicate which line a station is on and help you identify your position on the network quickly. All station guides on this page include the station code at the top for quick reference.
Peak Hours and When to Avoid Crowds
Delhi Metro peak hours are 8:00 AM – 10:30 AM and 5:30 PM – 9:00 PM on weekdays. Stations like Rajiv Chowk, Kashmere Gate, and Botanical Garden handle over 2 lakh passengers daily and become extremely crowded during these windows. If your schedule is flexible, travelling between 11:00 AM and 4:30 PM offers a far more comfortable experience — shorter queues, easier boarding and a seat almost guaranteed.
