The Karkarduma or Karkardooma metro station is an interchange station located on both the Blue Line and the Pink Line of Delhi Metro that was opened on 6 January 2010.[1][2] While the Blue Line station is at a height of 14.5 m, the Pink Line station, part of the Majilis Park-Shiv Vihar corridor of the Phase III of Delhi Metro, is the second highest station of the Delhi Metro network with a platform height of 20m from ground level.[3]

The station is named after the Karkardooma locality in East Delhi, around its historic twin village named Karkari.[4] The area also has the district court of Delhi, the Karkardooma District Court in Karkardooma Courts Complex built in 1997–98.[5]
