About Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium

Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium Metro Station is a vital underground stop on the Violet Line, primarily serving the massive multi-purpose sports arena of the same name. Built to handle the massive crowds during the 2010 Commonwealth Games, the station is designed with high capacity and efficient movement in mind. It is a critical link for sports fans, athletes, and the thousands of government employees working in the adjacent CGO Complex.

The station is uniquely integrated with the surrounding urban art scene. Lodhi Colony, which is accessible from the station, is India's first open-air public art district, featuring massive murals by artists from around the world. The station concourse is spacious, featuring modern amenities and clear signage to help navigate the large crowds that often descend upon the stadium for concerts and sporting events. Since its inauguration, it has become a landmark in the South Delhi transit landscape, providing seamless connectivity to one of the city's most important institutional and cultural zones.

Strategically, the station provides easy access to the India Habitat Centre and the various offices of the Central Government. It is also a popular stop for those visiting the Sai Baba Temple on Lodhi Road.
