Punjabi Bagh West is a metro station located on the Pink Line and the Green Line of the Delhi Metro.[1] The station on the Pink Line was opened on 14th March 2018, while the interchange services for the Green Line have become operational on 29th March 2022.
Construction
editIn late October 2019, it was decided to construct steel platforms on the viaduct of Green Line between Punjabi Bagh and Shivaji Park stations that will provide a seamless interchange between Green Line and Pink Line.[2] Construction began that year itself and the new halt platform of Green Line, named Punjabi Bagh West, was thrown open to the public on 29 March 2022, after multiple delays.[3]
The new halt platform of Green Line is connected by a Foot Over Bridge (FOB), which links with the Punjabi Bagh West station of the Pink Line. The FOB is 212 metres long. The new platforms are 155 metres in length and are connected with the FOB by two extra-large lifts on each platform with a capacity of 26 passengers each as well as staircases.[3]
