Location

The Dwarka Sector 21 Metro station, located on the Blue Line and Airport Express Line of the Delhi Metro, serves as a major metro and multimodal interchange hub. It is situated near the Dwarka ISBT to the west and the Bijwasan railway station of the Indian Railways network to the east. It served as the terminal station for the Airport Express Line from its opening until 16 September 2023, when Yashobhoomi Dwarka Sector-25 became the new terminal.

History

This station, along with Dwarka Sector 8, was constructed as an extension to bolster connectivity provisions for Dwarka residents and facilitate interchange with the Delhi Airport Express Line. Designed by Absolute Architecture, it was inaugurated on October 30, 2010, following successful trials and approval from the railway inspector.

Passenger facilities

This station has the platform screen doors on the Airport Express line. In addition to functioning as a major interchange station for the Delhi Metro, the upper levels of the building have been rented out and converted into a mall, known as Pacific D21 Mall. The building comprises the station on the underground levels, while the ground floor and the two upper levels house commercial activities, with portions rented out to the mall. Notably, it is the first Delhi Metro station to include hotel rooms within its complex. As of August 2014, Dwarka Sector 21 Metro station hosted the largest rooftop solar plant in the city, with an installed capacity of 500 kW, generating sufficient power to meet all its operational needs.

Connectivity

The Dwarka Interstate Bus Terminus, spanning 27 acres opposite Dwarka Sector 21 Metro station, began construction in 2022. Designed to handle 150,000 passengers daily, it will feature air-conditioned waiting halls, washrooms, airport-style lounges, a five-star hotel, multilevel parking, and a designated taxi zone. Serving buses from Punjab and Haryana, it aims to decongest the Kashmere Gate and Sarai Kale Khan ISBTs. Bijwasan railway station has been upgraded to serve as a major railway hub for the Indira Gandhi International Airport in its vicinity.
