Kashmere Gate, also known as Kashmiri Gate, is a key metro station on the Delhi Metro network. It features a unique design with an elevated structure for the Red Line and underground facilities for both the Yellow and Violet Lines. As a transfer station, it connects the Red Line at the highest upper level with the Yellow Line at the lowest underground level and the Violet Line on a parallel underground level, facilitating seamless inter-line connectivity.[2]
Kashmere Gate is the busiest metro station in India. It was inaugurated on December 25, 2002. During peak hours, it functions as an alternate northern terminus for the Yellow Line, alongside Vishwavidyalaya station.[3]
The Kashmere Gate station serves the historic Kashmiri Gate area of Delhi, and is the largest metro station within the Delhi Metro network, spanning a carpet area of about 118,400 square feet (11,000 m2)[4]. It is also the only metro station in India to function as an interchange for three lines: the Red Line, Yellow Line, and Violet Line.[5] This large station has over 6 levels.
