Dhansa metro station to get first-ever underground integrated parking facility

Najafgarh-Dhansa Bus Stand section on Grey Line to open by July-end

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) on Thursday said that the Dhansa Bus Stand metro station on the Dwarka-Najafgarh-Dhansa Bus Stand corridor will be the first ever underground metro station of the Delhi Metro network to have an entire underground floor dedicated for parking vehicles. In a statement, it said that the work on the 1.8 km-long Najafgarh-Dhansa Bus Stand section on the Grey Line is now almost complete, and with the completion of this section, this corridor will become 6.1-km-long with four stations. “This extension will immensely benefit the residents of the interior areas around Najafgarh. All efforts are being made to open the Najafgarh-Dhansa Bus Stand section sometime later this month after complying with all statutory requirements,” the DMRC said. The station, designed as a four-level underground structure will have a platform at the bottom (at an approximate depth of 18 metres) followed by the concourse and then an entire floor for parking above it with the roof level at the top (ground level). The DMRC said that the parking facility will be integrated with the main station area where vehicle users will be able to park their cars and two-wheelers and then proceed to the concourse of the station directly using lifts and escalators.
