The station is named after the nearby 'Delhi Gate', one of the surviving portals of the walled city of Shahjahanabad. It is a major stop for sports fans and medical professionals, given its proximity to the Arun Jaitley Stadium and several major government hospitals.

As part of the 'Heritage Line', Delhi Gate station is designed with an aesthetic that respects its historical surroundings. The station has significantly eased the transit burden for the thousands of people who work in the numerous offices along Asaf Ali Road and the Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg (Delhi's 'Fleet Street'). Since its opening, it has also become the primary choice for cricket fans attending international matches, offering a stress-free alternative to the massive traffic jams that typically surround the stadium on match days.

The station features advanced passenger amenities, including a spacious layout that can handle heavy crowds during sporting events. Its location makes it a vital hub for accessing the Lok Nayak Jai Prakash (LNJP) Hospital and the GB Pant Hospital, making it a lifeline for patients and their families.
