History

The station was opened on 14 January 2011, as part of the Sarita Vihar—Badarpur section of the line, and situated in Badarpur, Delhi. Initially, Badarpur Metro Station faced huge crowding problems, as it acted as a terminal for Delhi Metro. With the opening of a 14 km southward stretch between Badarpur in Delhi to Escorts Mujesar Faridabad on September 6, 2015, this station will now see less congestion as it was before. Some of the Metro Services terminate here.
