New Delhi Metro Station is a major interchange in the Delhi Metro network, connecting the Yellow Line and Airport Express Line. It also provides access to New Delhi Railway Station (Ajmeri Gate side) and connectivity to Indira Gandhi International Airport terminals T2 and T3. The station sees heavy footfall owing to its position as a central transit hub in the capital.
