About Mehrauli
Mehrauli - Delhi's oldest continuously inhabited area and home to the Qutub Minar UNESCO World Heritage Site - does not yet have its own metro station. The closest operational station is Qutab Minar on the Yellow Line, about 1.5 km away. From there, an auto-rickshaw takes around 5-10 minutes to reach the Mehrauli village area and the Qutub Minar complex entrance.
The upcoming Golden Line (DMRC Phase 4) will place a dedicated station in Mehrauli for the first time, making the heritage precinct directly rail-accessible from across Delhi. This will be a significant boost for tourism and for the residents of this ancient neighbourhood.
