Background
The Yellow Line was extended southward from Delhi into Gurugram as part of the Delhi Metro's effort to integrate the satellite city with the capital's mass rapid transit network. Arjan Garh became one of the intermediate stations along this extension, situated near the Delhi–Haryana border and the Mehrauli–Gurgaon Road corridor. The locality takes its name from the historic Arjan Garh area in South Delhi.
Station Layout
As an elevated station, Arjan Garh has a street-level entry, a concourse level housing ticket counters, automatic fare collection gates, and customer facilities, and a platform level above. Trains operate in both directions, towards Samaypur Badli in the north and towards HUDA City Centre (Millennium City Centre Gurugram) in the south.
Connectivity
The station provides access to nearby residential colonies, commercial outlets along the Mehrauli–Gurgaon Road, and feeder bus services. It is one of the points commonly used by commuters travelling between southern Delhi and Gurugram for work or education.
Significance
Arjan Garh forms part of the cross-border metro link that has reduced road traffic congestion on the Mehrauli–Gurgaon Road, one of the busiest arterial routes between Delhi and Gurugram. Together with neighbouring stations such as Ghitorni and Guru Dronacharya, it has contributed to the development of last-mile connectivity in the southern fringes of Delhi.
