Stations

The stations for the Grey Line are: Najafgarh station was initially planned in the regular rectangle shape. However, when the construction work began on-ground, some of the private land could not be acquired for the project. Due to this, Delhi metro had no other option but to plan the metro station with the land which was available to them. The dumbbell shaped station has been completed in such a way that the station area has shrunk by a few metres in the middle.
